apparent that sovereignty has been claimed and exercised in the past by
the Sultans of 'Oman over parts of Ruus.al-Jibal, especially Khasab •
that the inhabitants, though in most places they exist in a state of
virtual independence, are generally disposed to admit a connection with

dispute the title of the Sultan of 'Oman.
