Catalogue Note

rare. The work is not listed in Macro's bibliographies and we have traced only one copy at auction in the last 30 years. The work is primarily concerned with the Persian Gulf and Red Sea and includes chapters on Aden, Perim, Jeddah, Hormuz and Bandar Abbas, Muscat, Bahrein, Basra, and other locations in the Persian Gulf.
