KURIA MURIA ISLANDS

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 951 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KURIA MURIA ISLANDS , a
group
  of five islands in the Arabian Sea,
close
  under the
coast
  of Arabia, belonging to Britain and forming a dependency of Aden. They are lofty and rocky, and have a
total
  area of 28 sq. m., that of the largest, Hallania, being 22 sq. m. They are identified with the ancient Insulae Zenobii, and were ceded by the
sultan
  of
Muscat
  to Britain in 1854 for the purposes of a cable station. They are inhabited by a few families of
Arabs
 , who however speak a dialect differing considerably from the
ordinary
  Arabic. The islands yield some guano.
