ADMINISTRATION REPORT, 1905-1906.
This stretcb. of Coast-line whicli includes the districts of Biyaban, Jask,
Gaih, Dashtyari and Bahu, has since November 1904 been placed, so far as the
exercise of Consular powers is concerned, within the sphere covered by the
Commission of His Britannic Majesty's Consul and Assistant Eesident at
Bunder Abbas; but that officer has not so far been in a position to exercise
anv practical supervision further east than Minab, as will be seen from the
nreface to his Administration Report; and meanwhile the Director, Persian
Gulf Telegraphs, and ex-officio Political Officer for the Mekran Coast, has,
as hitherto, dealt with our interest as regards the tract through which the
Gwadur-Jask land telegraph line passes. The observations which tollow witn
regard to Jask, Gaih, Dashtyari and Bahu are based on the reports ot the
Director Mr. Wbitby Smith and his Assistants, while the westernmost district,
Bivaban, lying between Jask and Minab, is treated of by the light of notes
recorded bv Lieutenant E. L. Birdwood, Second Assistant to the Resident, who
traversed the country for the purpose of collecting information for the Gazetteer
now under preparation.
The several divisions are taken in geographical order from the north
west to the south-east.

The details of boundaries in these unsettled districts are liable to vary so
much according to the degree ot eilective
Boundaries. control or influence exercised by their
petty Mirs that it is difficult to arrive at any authoritative exposition of them
which will remain reliable for long. With this reservation it may be said that
on the north and west the boundary of Biyaban marches with that of Mmab
and that the most southern village at present under Mmab is Ziarat, from the
south of which village Biyaban commences. On the south the boundary lies
between the Biyaban village of Bunji and the Jask village of Kuh-i-Mubarak.
The natives of Biyaban are all Balucbis of Sunni persuasion and chiefly
of tc B ais" stock, and are practically
inhabitants. uninfluenced by the politics of Persia
proper. They are extremely ignorant and poor, eking out a precarious
existence from the produce of their meagre date and gram cultivation, of
which they only grow sufficient for their own requirements, selling any
surplus they may have to the coast villages where cultivation is not possible.
There are two routes through Biyaban in ordinary use, bifurcating at
