STRATFORD NATURAL BED. 
Beginning at a point in the Commissioners’ line of jurisdiction, distant 
about one thousand eight hundred and thirty (1,830) feet northeasterly 
from the centre of the tower of the new Stratford Point lighthouse, 
thence running due south to a point which is determined by the follow-

Stratford Point lighthouse to Middle Ground lighthouse, 114° 26’; Strat- 
ford Point lighthouse to Penfield Reef lighthouse, 45° 11’. ‘‘ Fish” is 
the factory chimney of the oil works at Welch’s Point. The point thus 
located is the southeast corner of the bed, and it may also be found by 
intersecting the following range lines: one range line running zortherly 
along the edge of the roof on the easterly side of lighthouse keeper’s 
new house, near the Stratford Point lighthouse; the other range line 
running zortheasterly over the southeast side or face of the old hotel on 
Charles Island, and a tall, prominent tree at the left side of a little gap 
in the woods on the northern slope of a distant hill. This gap may be 
found by beginning at the fish works at Welch’s Point and looking 
northerly along the crest of the range of hills until you pass four promi- 
nent single trees, which rise above the top of the general wood line. 
The fourth tree stands near the right hand side of the gap. At the said
