- Report on the Kuhgalu tribes
- Scope & Content:
-
This report on the Kuhgalu tribes was written by Lieutenant James Gabriel Lancaster Ranking (British Consul at Ahwaz) in 1910 and was published in Simla at the Government Monotype Press in 1911.
The volume opens with a brief introduction to the Kuhgalu tribes before outlining the names and details of each sub-tribe. The sub-tribes are explored using the following criteria:
- boundaries of the land they inhabit
- habitat
- forts in their territories
- trade
- property
- produce
- arts and crafts
- taxation
- internal and external relations
- communications
- mineralogy
- archaeology
Folios 18-21 describe the town of Behbehan using similar criteria. This section also records the names of the tribes dependent on Behbehan.
There are nine appendices at the end of the volume (folios 22-30) which provide further information about the areas inhabited by the Kuhgalu tribes, such as measurements used, travel routes, notable people, and typical prices for necessities.
