IV] FOREIGA' RELATIO'NS 125 an intimation of the appointment is received from the Imperial Government. Where His Majesty's exequatur is not needed to an appointment made in India by consular officers of foreign powers under the standing regulations of their service, the Government of India can recognize the person so ap- pointed. It is only necessary to add that Native States cannot receive foreign consular agents, and that the Government does not recognize consuls for places in the interior of British India or in the Native States.
