AND MUSCAT POLITICAL AGENCY FOR THE YEAR 1875-76. 7
For administrative and fiscal purposes, there are in Fars, in the
first place, six principal Governments, the Governors of which divisions
are responsible for the revenues and administration of the districts
included in their respective charges.
It would however he incorrect to say that Fars is divided into sucli
Governments, as many large and important districts are not included in
any of the divisions to which the term "Principal Government" is
applied.
Many such districts, whilst not being looked on themselves
separate "Governments/' are managed through the headman directly by
the Shiraz authorities.
The following are what are considered chief Governments
I. Behbehan; IT. Bushirc; III. Lar and Saba; IV. Bunder Abbass;
V. Darab; VI. Abadch and Iklid, all of which have again subordinate
districts.
