Starting from the coast in the neighbourhood of Mitre Rock on the 8th parallel of south latitude, and following this parallel to the point where it is cut by the 147th degree of east longitude; then in a straight line in a north-westerly direction to the point where the 6th parallel of south latitude cuts the 144th degree of east longitude; and continuing in a west-north-westerly direction to the point of intersection of the 5th parallel of south latitude and of the 141st degree of east longitude.

The British possessions lie to the south of the line thus defined, the German to the north. The British possessions will not include Long Island or Rock Island, or any islands adjacent to New Guinea to the northward of the 8th parallel of south latitude.
