confluence above mentioned. A straight line shall connect No. 21 with No. 22
placed in the valley of Kushk on the left bank of the river, 900 feet to the north
of the confluence of the Kushk and the Moghur (about 6,300 feet from Masari
Shah Alanr, indicated on map No. 2 annexed to the protocol).
Leaving pillar No. 22 the line shall ascend the thalweg of the Kushk to pillar
No. 23, placed 2,700 feet above the head of the new canal on the right bank, of
which the water-supply is situated about 6,000 feet to the north-north-east of the
Ziaret of Chahil-Dukhter. From pillar No. 23 a straight line shall be traced to
the point marked 2,925 on map No. 3 annexed to the present protocol (latitude
35° 16' 53", longitude 62° 27' 57", pillar No. 24) whence the frontier shall follow
the line of the water-parting passing through the following points : the point
3,017 (Bandi Akhamar, latitude 35° 14' 21", longitude 62° 25' 48", pillar No. 26),
the point 3,198 (latitude 35° 14' 30", longitude 62° 41' 0", pillar No. 27) and the
point Kalari 2 (latitude 35° 18' 21", longitude 62° 47' 18") and shall run on to
the point marked No. 29 on map No. 4 annexed to the present protocol. The
frontier shall cross the valley of the River Kashan in a straight line between pillars
No. 29 and No. 30 (trigonometrical station of Tori Scheikh, latitude 35° 24' 51",
longitude 62° 59' 43") and shall follow the line of the water-parting of Sanicha
to the point (pillar No. 31 of map No. 3), where it meets the line of the water-
parting of the Kashan and the Murghab, shall pass on to this latter and shall follow
it up to the trigonometrical station of the Kashan (latitude 35° 38' 13", longitude
63° 6' 4", pillar No. 32). From this station a straight line shall be traced to a
point on the Murghab (pillar No. 35, situated 700 feet above the canal-head of
the canal Yaki-Yuz (or Yaki-Yangi). Further on, the frontier descending the
thalweg of the Murghab, shall join pillar No. 36 of the frontier demarcated in
1885-86.
To the east of pillar No. 65 the frontier shall follow the line marked A, B, C>
D, on map No. 8 annexed to the present protocol, the point A being situated at
a distance of 3,500 feet south of the wells of Imam Nazar ; the point B being near
Kara-Tepe Khurd-Kak, which remains to the Afghans ; the point C about mid
way between the east and west wells of Katabadji; and, lastly, the point D about
midway between the wells Ali Kadim and the wells marked Chahi. The wells
of Imam Nazar, Kara-Tepe-Khurd, West Katabadji, and Ali Kadim remain out
side of Afghan territory. From the point D a straight line shall be traced as far
as the commencement of the local frontier demarcated between Bosagha and
Khamiab, which shall continue to serve as frontier between the two villages, with
the single reservation that the canals of Bosagha along all their course, that is
to say, as far as Konili (point H) shall be included in Russian territory. In other
words, the present demarcation will confirm the existing rights of the two parties
on the banks of the Amou-Daria, that is to say, that the inhabitants of Khamiab
shall retain all their lands and all their pastures, including those which are east
of the local frontier marked E, F, G, on maps Nos. 9 and 10 annexed to the Pro
tocol. On the other hand, the inhabitants of Bosagha shall retain the exclusive
enjoyment of their canals as far as Konili, with the right of repairing and supply-
