APPRECIATION OF THE
ATTACHED ARABIAN REPORT, N.S. No. XXY.
The Aeab Movement.
1 be situation in Hejaz remains stationary, and the question of the British brigade
being despatched to Rabegh remains unsettled until the King declares himself
responsible for the introduction of Christians into Hejaz. He is little likely to do this

Idrisi and the Ears an Islands.
Idrisi has given an unsatisfactory answer to Colonel Jacob both in substance and
