ECONOMIC GEOLOGY# 149 / With the exception of the asphalt, the only petroleum manifesta- tions which it remains to consider are the apparently paroxysmal out- bursts of bituminous matter in the Gulf. One of these occurs some 10 to 15 miles north of Hdlul island. There" seems some reason^to think that it arises from the Hormuz series." : Another area has been referred to by Carter between the small islands of Kubbar (290 4' ,' 48° 30') and Qaru (28° 49'; 48° 48') and still another 12 miles north-north-east of the small island of Farsi (28° o'; 50° 10'). As the Hormuz volcanic area does not appear to have extended" so far to the north-west, it is reasonable to suppose that these two • last-mentioned springs arise from the Fars series, as indeed may be the case with the one north of Hdlul. Their periodicity is perhaps: to be ascribed to the same causes as the similar phenomenon in various mud volcanoes. We have no data to guide us in expressing an opinion ' as to > these submarine petroleum " shows " except that any which arise in the Hormuz series maybe at once dismissed without further thought for the reasons stated above. In any case, wHen we consider the extremely doubtful importance of the petroleum " shows" in other parts of the area, it does not seem worth while to consider seriously any proposition for conducting boring operations in Expensive sites. The only deposit of asphalt or bitumen, which I examined,—if I except the unimportant bed of slightly bituminous limestone which I found in the Bakhtiyaris,—was that in the island of Bahrain. I shall therefore proceed to state the result of my examination of the deposit in question. ; • The asphalt deposit of Bahrain is situtated about 3 miles south- south-east of Jebel Dukhan, the name given to the clump of limestone peaks in the centre of the island, arid is some 17 miles distant from the town of Manama. The road lying between is for the most part flat and does not present any particular difficulties to transport on donkeys, * - The Asphalt beds are'situated-just beyond the termination of the rocky limestone formation of which Jebel Dukhin consists, anB which
