MECHAITICAL AITALYSIS.
Mechanical analysis of soil No.3, which only could be
dispersed by sodium chloride treatment (Puri method).-
Clay (•002 m.m. and below) 27.58%
Very fine silt (.002 m.m. to .005). 14.46%
Fine silt + silt (.005 to .02 m.m.)... 36.06%
Very fine sand (.02 m.m. to .05 m.m.) 15.06%
Coarser fraction & loss on solution 6.84%
The soils are apparently derived from limestone and
argillaceous rocks and are characterised by large amounts of
gypsum and are all alkaline in reaction. Soils 1, 2 and 4a are
more or less similar and are characterised by large quantities of
calcium carbonate and calcium sulphate. The Total Solids t^matter
soluble in water)are also high. Soil No.3 is unique in itself
compared to the other three soils and contains a comparatively small
percentage of gypsum and a smaller percentage of Total Solids. On
account of the higher content of salts and on account of the fact
that gypsum hinders dispersion of soils 1, 2 and 4a, mechanical
analysis of these could not be done nor is it necessary. The high
gypsum content would permit drainage and facilitate irrigation for
arable crops.
Soil No.l has also the peculiarity in that the ignited
soil on treatment with hydrochloric acid liberates hydrogen -
sulphide. There is also a faint smell of this gas when the original
soil is similarly treated with acid. But in the case of ignited
soil the smell is more pronounced. This might be due to the soil
formation itself.
Soil No.3 is better than the other soils analysed and
shows a good dispersion by Puri*s method even. It is expected that
the moisture retaining power of this soil will be good enough.
When soil No.l is said' to be under cultivation and large garden
crops etc. are said to come up satisfactorily on it, in case of
soil No.3 these crops must come up more luxuriantly. The soils
2 and 4a should behave like soil No.l in regard to such crops if
cultivated and similarly manured. Because of the low rainfall and
as the soils are not able to retain what little moisture they get

About this item
- Content
The file begins with a letter and note from Charles Dalrymple Belgrave, Adviser to the Government of Bahrain, to the British Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. , Bahrain, explaining the issue concerning disputes over landownership in Bahrain based on the practice of Shaikh Isa bin Ali Al Khalifa of giving out scraps of paper granting ownership to members of the Ruling Family. The rest of the file consists mainly of Arabic transcripts and English translations of letters relating to these uncertainties over land ownership. Also included in the correspondence is discussion of the practicalities of appointing an agricultural expert and an entomological specialist for Bahrain.
The main correspondents are the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. , Bahrain; Charles Dalrymple Belgrave, Adviser to the Government of Bahrain; Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Ruler of Bahrain.
