I understand that the Arab Sheikh of Kishm or some
nemher of his family usually occupies the position of
Kalantar, and as the succession to the Sheikhship is
hereait&ry, the position of Kalantar may also to a
certain degree he considered to he so. The arrangement
however has apparently been adopted for convenience
sake and could undoubtedly be terminated at any time
if the Persian Government saw fit to establish a
Kalantar in the island independent of the Arab Sheikh,
I am of opinion then that the position of the Kalantar
is not of sufficient practical independence to make
an arrangement with him possible or politically ad
visable.
I find that Sheikh Hasson, the Sheikh and Kalantar
of Kishm, has not after all been superseded. It was
the intention of the Persian Government to reinstate
one Sheikh Abdulla / a relative of Sheikh Hass an and a
former Kalantar of Kishm, and Monsieur Simais the
Director-General of the Gulf Customs Administration
took Sheikh Abdulla from Lingah to Bunder Abbas in
the Persepolis for this purpose. The arrangement hovi-
ever for some reason or other fell through ana Sheikh
\
Hass an is still Kalantar of Kishm.
