(5) 8ome donkeys were stolen from a caravan at Bagliin at tho oame
time.
(6) A robbery in which some goods of Messrs. 8assoon were looted from
a caravan is under rcferenco to Bushire and another similarly
to Yczd, in which a Hindu was concerned, tho place of tho
thefts being under dispute.

IvERMAN BOUNDARIES.
It should be understood that tho actual limits of tho Kerman and
Persian Baluchistan districts have never boen precisely defined, and that tho
same remark applios to tho sub-districts which they include.
The northernmost point of the Kerman district is said tobeaplace
called Shims, two inarches south-west of Yezdon the Yezd-Kerman road. The
salt lake marked Kavir on the maps (dry in summer), constitutes the western
boundary as far as Saidabad of Kerman whence the line appears to follow the
trade route through Dashtab and Daulatabad of Kerman as far as Pur AhmedL
The line thence continued southwards follows the western boundaries of the
Budbar district to Minab and from there coincides with the western and
southern coast line of the Bashkard district. The southern boundary
continues to follow the coast line of the Geh sub-district to Gwattar.
On the east from Koh-i-Malik Siali to Gvrattar the boundaries of Persian
and British Baluchistan are conterminous; and from Kob-i-Malik Siah the line
would so far as can be ascertained be drawn due West to Kasratabad (Sipi).
Thence it follows the trade route to Bam, and from Bam north-west the
east-era boundary would correspond with that of the Kliabis and Kuh-benan
sab-districts.
The want of any exact delimitation of the frontier lines of sub-districts,
districts, and their adjacent provinces is unfortunate but more so perhaps
from an academic than a practical point of view. Few if any cases of disputed
internal iiaes of demarcation occur ai any rate and the amount of suspicion
which would be excited, and local dissensions created by our taking action in
the matter would I think be quite disproportionate to auy possible
advantages to be gained.
