at Kuwait.
There is also a 'Chronological list of the Amīrs of Jabal Shammar belonging to this family' with the periods of their reign, including: ’Abdullah-bin-’Ali [‘Abdullāh bin ‘Alī], Talāl-bin-’Abdullah [Ṭalāl bin ‘Abdullāh], Mat’ab-bin-’Abdullah [Mut‘ib bin ‘Abdullāh], Bandar-bin-Talāl [Bandar bin Ṭalāl], ’Abdul Azīz-bin-Mat’ab [‘Abd al-‘Azīz bin Mut‘ib], and Sultān-bin-Hamūd [Sulṭān bin Ḥamūd]. There is also a note about the tribal origins of the family.
In addition, a section of 'Notes' is included that gives 1907 as the year of compilation (presumably by John Gordon Lorimer), as well as other details concerning the arrangement of the table, including: the omission of nearly all females; 'issue' means 'male issue'; the ordering of sons from the same father according to seniority from left to right, but all daughters are placed in the position of juniority on the extreme right; dates of birth are only approximate; and when the fact or date of death is not mentioned the person was probably alive in 1906.
