Eeview by the Political Eesident-
There have been several changes of personnel in the sphere of the Resi
dency since the last report, and those
now submitted have been furnished by
Persia.
. By the Resident and Mr. J. H. Bill, I.C.S., His
Majesty's Acting Consul at Shiraz.
. By Captain M. E. Rae.
. By Mirza Nasrnllali Khan (in the absence of Major
C. Ducat on leave).
. By Mr. D. Gumbley, Assistant Superintendent,
Jask Sub-Division, under supervision of Mr. H.
Whitby Smith, Director, Persian Gulf Tele
graphs, and Political Officer, Mekran Coast.

Arabia.
. By Mr. R. E. Holland, I.C.S.
. By the Resident.
. By Captain C. F. Mackenzie.
. By Captain W. H. I. Shakespear.
The changes in Arabistan, Bahrain and Kuwait were due to the incum
bents of those offices proceeding on furlough after several years tenure of
their appointments, viz., Captain D. L. R. Lorimer, Major F. B. Prideaux
and Major S. G. Knox, respectively. In connection with these movements,
Captain Shakespear was transferred from Bandar Abbas to Kuwait, being
relieved in turn by Captain M. E. Rae, then Second Assistant Resident at
•Bushire.
It will be noted that Kermanshah now drops out of the list of appoint
ments under the Residency. This is due to the fact that in the course of
joint consideration, by His Majesty's Government and the Government of
India, of the financing and filling of the Consular appointments in Persia
^d, the Persian Gulf, it was decided to make an exchange between Kerman-
. a h, hitherto filled by the Government of India, and Mohammerah, which
since the creation of the appointment 18 years ago, had been filled by His
ajesty's Foreign Office. Accordingly Captain L. B. Haworth, Consul at
ermanshah, became Consul for Arabistan to reside at Mohammerah, while
Mr. W. McDouall, hitherto Consul at Mohammerah, was transferred to Ker-
j^anshah. Captain Haworth, however, was obliged to apply for sick leave
or e taking up his new post, and Lieutenant A. T. Wilson, who then hap
pened to be on the spot in command of the Sowar guard attached to the
Personnel.
