reached on the 30th March. After spending 11 days negotiating at Kima
His Majesty's Consul proceeded to the Masjid Suleiman Oil Field, and thence
via Batwand to Shushtar and Dizful in Northern Arabistan returninp- to
Ahwaz on the 1st May. ' 5
(summer tour.)
Owing to the reported lease of land in Northern Arabistan to a Russian
Ahwaz to istsahan. Subject, which is dealt with infra under
r T . (. t t -> • „ r e headm g " Foreign Interests—Lease
of land for Irrigation to Russians/' it was decided to proceed to Ispahan via
the Arab country on the west of the Karun, hitherto unvisited by His Maies-
y sl^^esentative in Ahwaz. A great deal of new ground was also explored
m the Bakhtian country.
A start was made on the 21st May, proceeding via Beit Yarullah Abu
(arimyen, Gunyeh, and across the Shwabeh lands to Sardarabad. Thence rid
J alakan and Gotwand across the Aquli plain to Eahdarnn. and thence
the Murda Fil Pass and Aola to Malamir.
From Malamir a detour was made to Susan and Papil, whence it was
intended to reach the Upper Dinarun country via the Faleh. Owing, how
ever, to unforeseen circumstances this route was impossible, and the Upper
Dinarun country had to be reached by another route via Dilli, Deh Diz and
^Teng-i-Memun. The Upper Dinarun country was then traversed right
ou- i ' s ^ ua ^ head of the Faleh. Thence via Ghurrab and
bhmdun to the Kaj valley, and thence via the Hara Khar Pass into
Mezdij, which was crossed and Deh Kurd reached ma the Teng-i-Sarish-
jun. From Deh Kurd the Kaf-i-Rukh Pass was made via the Dotu. Thence
down the valley of the Zainda Rud, over the Gavpisa Pass into the Ispahan
plain. His Majesty's Consul-General, Ispahan, met His Majesty's Consul at
the foot of the Gavpisa Pass, whence they proceeded together to Ispahan via
Bagh Wahush and Pul-i-Wargun, arriving at Ispahan on the 24th June.
(autumn tour.)
Owing to His Britannic Majesty's Consul's projected return to India, in
Ispahan to Ahwaz. October, it was proposed to leave Ispa-
. . ban early in September, but subsequent
on dissensions breaking out among the Bakhtiari Chiefs, a start was not made
trom Ispahan till the 14th September. A detour was made via the Lingunat,
hitherto unvisited by His Majesty's Representative at Ahwaz to Kaf-i-Rukh,
thence the various Bakhtiari Chiefs of both families were visited at their
several residences. From the Chahar Mahal, His Majesty's Consul proceeded
via Ardal, Qala Tul and Reghewa to Ahwaz, which was reached on the 22nd
October, making a total mileage of 1,215 miles, covered on tour during the
period under report.
Satisfactory progress was made during the year 1910 in the matter of
ci a i mg . claims. The last of the old outstand
ing claims, that of the Godar Bridge
repairs, which had been outstanding since 1903-04, and which had received
the attention of His Majesty's Consul in the previous year, 1909, (vide Ad
ministration Report, 1909), was brought to the notice of the Acting
Ilkhani

and Ilbegi during the spring of the year under review, with the result that
they eventually gave an order to pay, by deduction from the instalments of
the subsidy payable quarterly by the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, the total
sum due, less only the compound interest for the period 3rd March 1909 to 2nd
March 1910.
Of new claims, that of Messrs. Lynch Brothers, aggregating 2,637 krans,
for outstandings against Persian merchants, and a small sum for a minor
robbery near Shalili, was the only one notified. The matter was taken up
with Haji Fakhr-ul-Mulk, Governor-General, Arabistan, with the result that,
at the end of the year, when leaving Ahwaz en route to Kerbala on leave, he
gave His Majesty's Consul an order on the Deputy Governor of Shushtar to
take up the matter of the collection of Messrs. Lynch Brothers' outstandings.
