Related parties include the Chiefs of the Arabian coast (referred to as 'the Chiefs of the Pirates Coast'), Persia, Turkey, and Russia.In addition, there are copies of two concessions granted to the Indo-European Telegraph Company, from 1868 and 1869 respectively (a renewal of the 1868 concession, made in 1882, is also included).Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at f 21, and terminates at f 38, as it is part of a larger physical volume; 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 A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.Pagination: the volume also contains an original printed pagination sequence.
