Figures for the Kuria Muria Islands, Sokotra and the Protected States adjoining Aden on the mainland are not however included. The population of the Kuria Muria Islands is unknown but is in any case very small. The population of Sokotra is roughly estimated at 12,000, and that of the Protected Tribes on the mainland at 664,000. The details are as follows :—Abdali 35,000 ; Fadli 20,000 ; Akrabi ; Amiri, Azraki, 1,000 ; Houshabi 15,000 Shairi and whole of Radfan 25,000 ; Upper Aulaki Sultain and Sheikh 30,000 ; Lower Aulaki Sultain 15,000 ; Lower Yafai Sultain Mohsin bin Ali 70,000 ; Upper Yafai Sultain Saleh bin Omer and Monsatta 80,000 ; Subehis including men of Shaab 20,000 ; Audah 7,000 ; Balehaf and Bir Ali including their independent subjects (such as Hawra 500 and Irka 200), SOjOOO ; Kaaiti's dominions, Doan and Kathiri of Hadramut 300,000 ; Alawi 1,000 ; Behan 15,000. 3.
