At the end of the year, on account of his intrigues, Agha Rahim Khan

Relations with the British. —In general the improvement in the tone of
the Bakhtiari Chiefs towards British interests, chronicled last year, has been
maintained, though unfortunately, owing to the personality of the two Chiefs,
namely, Lutf Ali and Yussuf Khans, charged with the tribal executive, some
unpleasantly troublesome questions became acute during the spring of 1910,
most notably among these being the Land Acquisition Question, with the
Anglo-Persian Oil Company, and the Specie Question, with Messrs. Lynch
Brothers, both of which have been dealt with under their respective heads.

Ifi the summer the Chiefs had under consideration the question of em
ploying Dr. (Miss E. M.) Ross, who was at that time practising at Deh Kurd
in the Chahar Mahal, as Lady Doctor to their wives; no final decision was
however arrived at.
The relations between His Majesty's Consul, Ahwaz, and the Chiefs have .
been most cordial throughout the year.
Titles. —The titles held by the more important of the Chiefs, during the
year under review, are shewn in an Appendix.
