June 1948. Southern Boundary of Kuwait.
2. After rexerenoe to the correspondence in
this office as well as to (Jol. Dickson, there aeerns to me
no doubt that it is the hill Irurain tlmt marks the
southern boundary of Kuv/ait proper, as is indeed clearly
shown ou War Office 'Jap iio. 3954 Beale 1:500,000,
3. The nr^lo-Turkish Convention of 1913 to
which the Kuv/ait Hejd Boundary Convention of 1922 refers
does not specifically define Gurain as a hill, but in
any case it is merely quoted as a landmark for a frontier
that is mathematically calculated i.c, a circle with its
centre in Kuwait aiid its circumference at the confluence
of the Idler Bubair and the IQior Shetana. This leaves
th^arells of Lruial n seme way i n side the Y eutr^l Bone.
It is in any case an unreliable name as a landmark
as it occurs a^ain further soutl: in Rijm qvp'ain, as
well as also..here in Kuwait,
Political iw:ent,
Kuwait.
