manent Mixed Fishery Commissions, to be constituted as hereinbefore 

 provided, in the same manner as a difference in regard to future 

 regulations would be so referred. 



ARTICLE II. 



And whereas the Tribunal of Arbitration in its award decided 

 that 



In case of bays the 3 marine miles are to be measured from a 

 straight line drawn across the body of water at the place where it 

 ceases to have the configuration and characteristics of a bay. At all 

 other places the 3 marine miles are to be measured following the 

 sinuosities of the coast. 



And whereas the Tribunal made certain recommendations for the 

 determination of the limits of the bays enumerated in the award ; 



Now, therefore, it is agreed that the recommendations, in so far 

 as the same relate to bays contiguous to the territory of the Dominion 

 of Canada, to which Question V of the Special Agreement is appli- 

 cable, are hereby adopted, to wit : 



In every bay not hereinafter specifically provided for, the limits 

 of exclusion shall be drawn three miles seaward from a straight line 

 across the bay in the part nearest the entrance at the first point where 

 the width does not exceed ten miles. 



For the Baie des Chaleurs the limits of exclusion shall be drawn 

 from the line from the Light at Birch Point on Miscou Island to 

 Macquereau Point Light; for the bay of Miramichi, the line from 

 the Light at Point Escuminac to the Light on the eastern point of 

 Tabisintac Gully; for Egmont Bay, in Prince Edward Island, the 

 line from the Light at Cape Egmont to the Light at West Point; 

 and off St. Ann's Bay, in the Province of Nova Scotia, the line from 

 the Light at Point Anconi to the nearest point on the opposite shore 

 of the mainland. 



For or near the following bays the limits of exclusion shall be three 

 marine miles seawards from the following lines, namely : 



For or near Barrington Bay, in Nova Scotia, the line from the 

 Light on Stoddard Island to the Light on the south point of Cape 

 Sable, thence to the Light at Baccaro Point; at Chedabucto and St. 

 Peter's Bays, the line from Cranberry Island Light to Green Island 

 Light, thence to Point Rouge ; for Mira Bay, the line from the Light 

 on the east point of Scatary Island to the northeasterly point of Cape 

 Morien. 



Long Island and Bryer Island, on St. Mary's Bay, in Nova Scotia, 

 shall, for the purpose of delimitation, be taken as the coasts of such 

 bays. 



It is understood that the award does not cover Hudson Bay. 



ARTICLE III. 



It is further agreed that the delimitation of all or any of the bays 

 on the coast of Newfoundland, whether mentioned in the recom- 

 mendations or not, does not require consideration at present.
