big white rock at the extremity of a point designated as 
Horse Neck Point on the U. S. Coast Survey map, and 
otherwise known as Field Point: Thence from said White 
Rock at Field Point, in a straight line in an easterly direc-

the U. 8. Coast Survey map as Greenwich Point, other- 
wise known as Flat Neck Point; which boulder is situated
