The report contains an extensive description of the Colonel's journey, including the geographic and botanical features of the region between Muscat and Buraimi as well as any military fortifications that exist. The report also describes the various tribal and clan leaders and their relationships to the Wahhabis in Nejd and the Sultan of Muscat and Oman. Most of the report is a personal account of Colonel Miles' impressions of the ruins and hamlets of the region, their ancient origins in legend and contemporary situation.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 30; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
