of Abal, Arta, Markh and Ghadha. There are a number of wells generally varying in
depth from 1 to 2 fathoms, some of which contain good and the others indilfer-
ent water. Khatam appears to be a meeting ground of the Bedouina of the Bani Yas
Manaslr, and Na im tribes ; and it may perhaps be regarded, at the present time, as in!
eluded m the sphere of the Shaikh of Abu Dhabi, whose personal influence is predominant
there. In the hot weather Khatam is deserted.

About this item
- Content
Volume II of III of the Gazetteer of Arabia. The Gazetteer is alphabetically-arranged and this volume contains entries K through to R.
The Gazetteer is an alphabetically-arranged compendium of the tribes, clans and geographical features (including towns, villages, lakes, mountains and wells) of Arabia that is contained within three seperate bound volumes. The entries range from short descriptions of one or two sentences to longer entries of several pages for places such as Iraq and Yemen.
A brief introduction states that the gazetteer was originally intended to deal with the whole of Arabia, "south of a line drawn from the head of the Gulf of 'Aqabah, through Ma'an, to Abu Kamal on the Euphrates, and to include Baghdad and Basrah Wilayats" and notes that before the gazetteer could be completed its publication was postponed and that therefore the three volumes that now form this file simply contain "as much of the MSS. [manuscript] as was ready at the time". It further notes that the contents have not been checked.
