Uuruie the summer mouths tlie Arabs carry on a soi l of pearl fishery on the eoasl of ihe Ke.l Sea. They catch the molluski uud lay them in the sua so that they may open quickly. The pearl tis'.iei ies in ihe Persian jrulf, especially on the coasts of the island of ltahit-iii. are also iu the hands of the A ralis. The t 'ex Inn pearl fisheries are carried on on Ihe xvesl coast of ("ex lull, in the tilf of Manaar. south of the island of the same name, and also 011 the west coast of India, near I'm ieorn.
