| xx ii PERSIA—APPENDIX NO. XIX—1881.
Who, having exchanged their respective full powers, found in good and due
form, have agreed on the following Articles :—
Article 1.
Frontier between Russia and Persia East of the Caspian Sea.
The frontier-line between the Possessions of the Russian Empire and Persia>
east of the Caspian Sea, is fixed as follows :—
Beginning at the Hasan Kuli Gulf the course of the River Atrek serves as the
frontier as far as Chat. From Chat the frontier-line follows in a north-easterly
direction the ridges of the Songou Dagh and Sagirim ranges, thence extending north
ward to the Chandir River, reaching the bed of that river at Tchakan Kale. From
Tchakan Kale it runs in a northerly direction to the ridge of the mountains dividing
the Chandir and Sumbar valleys, and extends along the ridge of these mountains
in an easterly direction, descending to the bed of the Sumbar at the spot where the
Ach-Agaian stream falls into it. From this point eastward the bed of the Sumbar
marks the frontier as far as the ruins of Medjet Daine. Thence the road to Durrun
forms the frontier line as far as the ridge of the Kopet Dagh, along the ridge of which
the frontier extends south-eastward, but before reaching the upper part of the
Giamab Pass turns to the south along the mountain heights dividing the valley
of the Sumbar from the source of the Giamab. Thence taking a south-easterly
direction across the summits of the Misino and Tchoubest Mountains, it reaches
the road from Giamab to Rabab, passing at a distance of 1 verst to the north of the
latter spot. From this point the frontier-line runs along the ridge of the mountains
as far as the summit of the Dalang Mountain, whence passing on the northern side
of the village of Khairabad it extends in a north-easterly direction as far as the
boundaries of Geok Keital. From the boundaries of Geok Keital the frontier-line
crosses to the gorge of the River Firuze, intersecting that gorge on the northern
side of the village of Firuze Thence the frontier-line takes a south-easterly direc
tion to the summits of the mountain-range bounding on the south the valley, through
which the road from Askabad to Firuze passes, and runs along the crest of these
mountains to the most easterly point of the range. From here the frontier-line
crosses over to the northernmost summit of the Aselm range, passing along its
ridge in a south-easterly direction, and then skirting round to the north of the
village of Keltechinar it runs to the point where the Ziri Kou and Kizil Dagh
Mountains join, extending thence south-eastward along the summits of the Ziri
Kou range, until it issues into the valley of the Baba Durmaz stream. It then
takes a northerly direction, and reaches the oasis at the road from Gavars to Lutfa-
bad, leaving the fortress of Baba Durmaz to the east.
Article 2.
Commissioners to be appointed to trace the Boundary in detail.
Whereas, in Article 1 of the present Convention, the principal points are indi
cated through which the frontier between the possessions of Russia and Persia is
to pass, the High Contracting Parties are to appoint Special Commissioners with a
