NOTES.
(1) The leading authorities on eaeh sub-section are given in a note at tie
beginning of the sub-section.
(2) The spelling in this precis is not unifor n. The names are spelt as
found in the various authorities, who of course follow different systems of trans
literation. In the Gazetteer the spelling will be made uniform, and to
facilitate this it is hoped that investigating officers will gi^e the equivalent in
Arabic characters of every name.
(3) Population is a point which requires special attention. Some authori
ties give total number of inhabitants ; some (able-bodied ?) “ men ” (=^ to f of
total population); others only fighting strength.

officers frame their reports according to the following numbered syllabus, which
