to Cape Carteret, the limits between which and the French shore the right of fishery shall be reserved 
exclusively to French fishermen, and these lines are as follows, that is to say: 
The first line runs from the point A, three miles from low-water mark (Point Meinga bearing 
south) to the point B, of which the landmarks are Agon Tower on with the clump of trees upon 
Mount Huchon, and the summit of Gros Mont in a line with the semaphore on Grand Isle. 
The second line runs from the said point B toward Agon Tower and the clump of trees upon 
Mount Huchon, in the direction north sixty-four degrees east, until, at the point C, it brings 
the windmill of Lingreville to bear due east. 
The third line runs from point C due east toward Lingreville windmill, until the Grand 
Huguenant is brought to bear on the Etat Rock at point D. 
The fourth line runs from point D northward (keeping the Grand Huguenant in one with 
the Etat Rock) until it intersects at E a line whose landmarks are Agon Tower on with Cou- 
stances Cathedral. 
The fifth line runs eastward from point E to point F, where the steeple of Pirou is brought 
to bear in a line with the Senequet Light-house. 
The sixth line runs from point F due north to point G, where the steeple of Blainville is 
brought in a line with the Senequet Light-house. 
The seventh line runs from point G in the direction of Pirou Steeple to point H, where the 
light-house on Cape Carteret bears north twenty-four degrees west. 
The eighth line runs from point H to point I nearly abreast of Port Bail; point I having for 
landmarks the fort of Port Bail in a line with the steeple of Port Bail. 
And finally, the ninth line runs from point I to the Three Grunes at point K, where Cape 
Carteret bears east ten degrees north, in a line with Barneville Steeple. 
It is further agreed that all the bearings specified in the present Article are to be taken 
according to the true meridian, and not according to the magnetic meridian. 
Art. III. The arrangements of the present Convention shall apply beyond the fishery limits of 
both countries, as defined by the preceding Articles, to the seas surrounding and adjoining Great Britain 
and Ireland, and adjoining the coasts of France between the frontiers of Belgium and Spain. The rules 
respecting oyster fishery shall, however, be observed only in the seas comprised within the limits 
hereinafter described. 
Art. IV. All British and French fishing boats shall be lettered and numbered. In the United 
Kingdom there shall be a series of numbers for the fishing boats belonging to each collectorship of 
Customs and in France a series of numbers for the fishing boats belonging to each district of Maritime 
Registry; and to these numbers shall be prefixed a letter (or letters) to be designated by the Board of 
Customs in the United Kingdom and by the Ministry of Marine in France. 
Art. V. The letter (or letters) and numbers shall be placed on each bow of the boat, 3 or 4 inches 
(8 or 10 centimétres French) below the gunwale, and they shall be painted in white oil colour on a black 
ground. 
For boats of 15 tons burthen and upwards the dimensions of the letters and numbers shall be 18 
inches (45 centimétres French) in height and 21% inches (6 centimétres French) in breadth. 
For boats of less than 15 tons burthen the dimensions shall be 10 inches (25 centimétres French) in 
height and 134 inches (4 centimétres French) in breadth. 
The same letter (or letters) and number shall also be painted on each side of the mainsail of the 
boat, in black oil colour on white sails, and in white oil colour on tanned or black sails. Such letter 
(or letters) and number on the sails shall be one-third larger in every way than those placed on the bows 
of the boat. 
The name of each fishing boat and that of the port to which she belongs shall be painted in white 
oil colour on a black ground on the stern of the boat, in letters which shall be at least 3 inches (8 centi- 
métres French) in height and one-half inch (12 millimétres French) in breadth. 
The letters, numbers, and names placed on the boats and on their sails shall not be effaced, covered, 
or concealed in any manner whatsoever. 
Art. VI. All the buoys, barrels, and principal floats of each net, and all other implements of 
fishery, shall be marked with the same letter (or letters) and number as those of the boats to which 
they belong.
