Cloth. Condizione: As New. No Jacket. A research project sponsored by Arabaian Gulf Oil Company (AGOCO); in co-operation with Research Centre, Garyounis University, Benghazi, and Commission Internationale de Microflore du Paleozoique (C.I.M.P.). 'The knowledge of the biostratigraphy of this region was poorly known until 1960. Be…tween 1960-1985, the oil industry carried out extensive drilling programmes which resulted in the availability of material for the first time for study. Forty wells were selected for this study and they appear to offer the most complete available stratigraphic sequence to date.' pp.276. Copy in publisher's shrink wrap.

6 vols, 8vo (25.5 x 16.5 cm); includes maps & genealogical tables; publisher's original black cloth, white lettering to upper board and spine, a fine set. Lorimer's Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf was compiled by officials of the British Government in India during the decade after Lord Curzon's Vice-Regal tour of the Gulf in 1903.… When first issued in 1915 it was classified as Secret and for Official Use Only, and just a few dozen copies were printed for circulation to British Government departments and agencies. The work was planned in two parts; the first comprising a history of the Gulf region, the second being a geographical dictionary, but grew to encompass all aspects of Gulf life, culture, cities, towns, tribes, and topography. Lorimer was an official of the India Civil Service, who had spent most of his career on the North West Frontier. He was placed on 'special duty' to compile the Gulf handbook, which was intended to be completed in six months but due to Lorimer's dedication and extensive field trips, the work took some ten years to complete. The present edition, printed from the India Office Records, makes available one of the most important primary sources for the study of the Gulf region from the seventeenth to the early twentieth century.

Tenth edition, with the second supplement dated 1959; 8vo (24.5 x 16 cm); supplement loosely inserted at rear, 4 coloured plates of diagrams, two maps acting as an index for admiralty charts, 16 double-sided plates showing numerous coastal views, further in-text weather diagrams, notice of supplement tipped in to face title; pub…lisher's blue cloth, lettered in yellow, spine a little sunned, joints professionally restored, very good copy; l, 312, [1] pp. A scarce pilot guide of the Persian gulf describing Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi, and numerous other villages and towns along the Arabian coast. Includes coastal views of Ras Al Hadd, Sur, Qalhat, As Suwaiq, Sohar, Fujairah, Khasab, the Tunb Islands, Abu Musa, Sirri Island, Al Jazirah Al Hamra, Al Shebeakah, Rams, Ajman, Qasr Al Hosn in Abu Dhabi, Sir Bani Yas, the Doha Fort, Bahrain Harbour, and Tarut Island, amongst others. The guide was published to give accurate sailing directions to the ports, towns, and safe anchorages along the Arabian coast from Ras al Hadd on the eastern peninsular of Oman to Shatt al Arab in the North, and back along the coast of Iran to Bandar Abbas and beyond. With much early information on the principal settlements of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman, and an interesting glossary of Arabic-English key terms. By 1955 it was clear how the oil boom had changed the economy of the region. The first chapter gives an overview and includes the character of the sea and ports, description of major towns and cities and their respective populations (for example 18,000 in Qatar), the main economic imports and exports of each locale, and considerable weather information. Dubai is described as well as Daira: 'Daira is a large suburb consisting of mat huts, amongst which stand a number of well-built houses.' 'Dibai (Dubai) contains the residence of the Shaikh. There are several tall towers in Dibai; the fort is a conspicuous square building with a round tower. from which the Shaikh's flag is displayed. There is a hospital.' Abu Dhabi is similarly described: 'This town consists for the most part of huts and extends along the coast for nearly two miles. In the town there is a small fort, partially surrounded by trees, with five towers close together. The coast in the vicinity of Abu Dhabi is very low and the beach is of white sand'. The fort is given it's own view on one of the plates. The great pearl bank is also given attention: 'this extensive bank. fills the great bight in the southern part of the Persian Gulf.' 'Many islands, both close to the coast and far offshore, lie on the bank. With the exception of Dalma none has permanent inhabitants, though they are frequented by the pearl boats during the summer and by fisherman from Abu Dhabi in the winter.' 'The best pilots for the coast are to be obtained at Abu Dhabi.' Much detail is also given to Qatar and Doha: 'This town, situated on the southern side of the harbour, is the capital of Al Qatar peninsula and had a population, in 1947, of about 12,000.' ' The Shaik's palace. is a large building with many colonnades, and an open balustrade round its roof.' ' The chief exports are gutch, fish and pearls; imports are food, timber and manufactured goods.' Bahrain is also described, with Manama being called the 'principal town and port', and as well as the trade being described there is also note of the health of the region: 'Manama is more liable to epidemics than the smaller ports; since 1920, however, there have been no more epidemics in Bahrain than in any other of the larger Gulf ports.' It is interesting also that one of the major changes of the supplement is changing the name 'Bahrein' to 'Bahrain'. Kuwait is described as greatly altered by the oil wealth: ' Wealth derived from oil revenues is being spent on completely replanning and rebuilding the town, Government offices, schools, hospitals, electric generating and water distillation stations, private houses and blocks of flats are all being built in the most modern style'. 'Pearl fishing is now practically extinct. There are, to all intents and purposes, no exports. The chief imports are food of all kinds, machinery, motor vehicles and building materials.'.

8vo (215 x 144 mm). 34, (2) pp. With black and white halftone photo illustrations throughout. Original printed wrappers showing a line map of the southern Gulf on the upper cover, three islands (Abu Musa, Tunb al Kubra, and Tunb al Sughra) circled in red. Issued at the moment of the Iranian seizure of Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and… Lesser Tunb in 1971, this programmatic Gulf pamphlet forms part of an Iraqi state-sponsored nationalist series. Framed as a documentary survey, it presents the islands as inalienably Arab and historically attached to Sharjah and Ras al Khaimah, characterizing the events of November 1971 as an externally enabled occupation. The text marshals historical arguments to contest Iranian claims and to scrutinize British policy in the final phase of withdrawal from the Gulf. - A recurrent emphasis falls on the strategic and economic stakes of the islands, notably control of shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, military positioning, and potential resources, casting the dispute as emblematic of wider imperial competition over the Gulf. Produced in Baghdad on the eve of the formal establishment of the United Arab Emirates, the booklet captures the immediacy of Arab public discourse during a decisive moment of post imperial realignment in the region. - Wrappers toned and creased, with small repair to lower cover. Internally clean and well preserved. - OCLC 1344243828 (a single copy, located in Germany).

4to. 12 pp. (calendar and general information), (230) pp. (diary), of which 89 blank. Interleaved throughout. Advertisement to pastedowns and flyleaves. Contemporary giltstamped full cloth. Personal diary of a Royal Navy officer aboard SS Amatonga, one of several British ships patrolling the Gulf in an attempt to stop arms traff…icking. Packed with lively accounts of operations against gun-runners off the coasts of Iran and Oman, recounting seven months at sea: parting from Bombay on 15 February 1908 bound for the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman; anchorages including Kish and Kharg islands off the coast of Iran, Kuwait, Bushire, Hengam island, the Makran coast, Mascat, Kuh-e Mubarak, Sheikh Shoeyb, and Jaskh. The diary mentions other patrol boats such as HMS Hyacinth and HMS Sphinx and describes the dangers of chasing and inspecting dhows for illegal weapons, not failing to report dramatically the deaths of Able Seamen H. H. Biddlecombe and F. G. King, who were fatally wounded in action on 20 April on the shores of Bunji village: "On the way to the boat Biddlecombe (AS) was hit in the right buttock the bullet leaving through the abdomen, just below the navel, where in the boat & pulling off F. King AS was shot through the shoulder the Bullet passing through the left lung & under the heart remaining inside him. We kept up a heavy fire on the palm grove & village of Bungi, until the boats were out of range from the shore [.]". - The journal further revolves around cricket and bridge tournaments, poker games, dances, pigeon hunting and the weather; a remark in the cash account section gives an idea of the splendid time the crew had in India prior to departure: "Expenditure so enormous account keeping impossible combined with high life in Bombay". - The rapid development in the design of small arms in the 19th century flooded the private arms market with surplus old weapons destined for the dissident tribes of Arabia and the North West Frontier. Britain attempted to slow the trade to protect their interests and the route to India by instigating anti-smuggling patrols in the Arabian Gulf beginning in 1907. The trade continued until the outbreak of the First World War. - Binding slightly worn. Some occasional light foxing. One folio loose; tears to a few interleaves. Overall in fine condition.
