interpreters or dragomanand student interpreters, were admitted to a
similar privilege, along with professional Consuls and Vice-Consuls, and
the interpreters and non-Persian secretaries of Consulates ; the corre
spondence, including parcels, of foreign Embassies, Legations and Con
sulates was not to be subject to examination ; and ordinary mail bags,
containing letters only, were also to be passed free of scrutiny provided
they had been regularly closed and sealed by a foreign post office, and
that they were handed over to the agents of the Persian Post Office.
Provision was also made for the establishment of warehouses and bonded
warehouses; and the articles relating to frauds and contraventions were
drawn up in the terms agreed on between Russia and Persia, to which
reference has already been made.
The Reglement was followed by a table which showed the location
and grouping of all the customs posts either established or proposed to be
established in Persia, together with the status and functions of each.

two main divisions were constituted, styled respec

a principal ^ post—Muhammareh ; the South had three-Bushehr,
Lingeh, and Bandar ^Abbas. At the principal posts every kind of
customs business might be transacted; but the numerous subsidiary
posts were only authorised to deal with coasting craft running between
one Persian port and another, and with sailing vessels engaged in foreign
trade.

during the time that the Declarations of 1901 and 1903 and the Regle-
ment itself were undep discussion, and afterwards.
The customs of 'Arabistan, after the controversy with the Shaikh had
been settled as described in the history of that province, were brought
under direct management with effect from September 1902; and in
February 1903, after they had been for some months managed by the
Director-General at Bushehr, the ^Arabistan Customs were constituted
a separate division under M. WafOelaert as the first separate Director-
General.
Steps were also taken to improve the general efficiency of the
preventive establishment. At the beginning of 1903 the Belgian steam
yacht" Selika "—which in 1901 had achieved a certain political notoriety
in the Persian G ulf—was purchased from Europe and, under the name
of " Mozafder/^ was employed for the prevention of smuggling; she
carried a couple of small Hotchkiss guns and was officered in the begin-
ning by four Europeans, two of whom were engineers, but later the
places of the European engineers were taken by natives of Baghdad.
In the autumn of 1903 funds were provided for the purchase of 5 armed
sea-going steam-launches of 10 knots for the preventive service ; in the
following year the contract for their construction was placed by the
