to discuss the natter from his own point of view.
Please inform us if your geologists wish to visit
Dhofar. If they wish to explore that part we shall
indicate to them the places for such exploration.
We would suggest that the geological party should
proceed from Muscat to Khaboura (on the Batinah coast by
cars) and from there they should ride camels beginning with
Wadi
A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows.
Hawasinahj and after visiting all that part of Dhahirah
they should then proceed to Biraimij Jabal Simani and Mshdah
down to Sohar.
These are the plans for your geological party and
we do not think it will be necessary for you to visit
Muscat before October 1938, as we hope your geologists
will not encounter any difficulty in visiting otie abov
places.
(Signed) Said bin Taimir
Sultan of Muscat and Oman.
