While these matters were in progress, steps were taken by the
British authorities to arrange for the prolongation of the Makran land

with the Convention of 1868. At the end of the year Colonel Goldsmid,
who had just returned from England to Bombay, visited Gwadar and
other places on the Makran Coast to prepare the way for an understand
