The French may therefore fish there for every kind of fish, inclodino:

The conditions which shall govern transit on tlie Biver Ghmibia and

Anglo-French Convention of the 14th June, 1898, to the English portion
of Sie basin of the Niger.

in all weathers, to taking in provisions and water, to making repairs, to
transhipment of goods, to the sale of fish and to the landing and drying of
nets, provided always that they observe the conditions laid down in the
Frendi Laws and Regulations which may be in force there.
Abtiolb vin.
To the east of the Xiger the following line shall be substituted for
the boundary fixed between the French and British possessions by the
Convention of the 14th June, 1898, subject to the modifications which may
lesult from the stipulations introduced in the final paragraph of the present
Article.
Starting from the point on the left bank of the Niger laid down in
Article III of the Convention of the 14th June, 1898, that is to say
the median line of the Dallul Mauri, the frontier shall be drawn along this
median line until it meets the circumference of a circle drawn from the
town of Sokoto as a centre, with a radius of 160,932 metres (100 miles).
Thence it shall follow the northern are of this circle to a point sitoated
5 kilometres south of the point of intersection of the above-mentioned arc
of the circle with the route from Dosso to Mantankari vift Maour6d6.
Thence it shall be drawn in a direct line to a point 20 kilometres ncNrth
of Konni (Bimi-N'Kouni), and then in a direct line to a point 15 kilo-
metres south of Maradi, and thence shall be continued in a direct line to
the point of intersection of the parallel of 13° 20' north latitude with a
meridian passing 70 miles to the east of the second intersection of the
14th degree of north latitude and the northern arc of the above-mentioned
circle.
Thence the frontier shall follow in an easterly direction the parallel of
13"^ 20" north latitude until it strikes the left bank of the River Komadogo
Waube (Komadougou Ouobe), the thalweg of which it will then follow
to Lake Chad. But, if before meeting this river the frontier attains a
distance of 5 kilometres from the caravan route from Zinder to To,
through Sua Kololua (Soua Kololoua^, Adeber and Kabi, the boundary
shall then be traced at a distance of 5 kilometres to the south of this route
until it strikes the left bank of the Biver Komadugu Waub6 (Komadongon
Ouob^), it being nevertheless understood that, if the boundary thus drawn
should happen to pass through a village, this village, with its lands, shall
be assigned to the Government to which would fail the larger portion of
the vilkge and its lands. The boundary will then, as before, follow the
thalweg of the said river to Lake Chad.
Thence it will follow the degree of latitude passing throujs^ t^e
thalweg of the mouth of the said river up to its intersection with the
meridian running 35' east df the centre of the town of Kouka and will
then follow this meridian southwards until it intersects the southern shore
of Lake Chad.
It is agreed, however, that, when the Commissioners of the two
Governments at present engaged in delimiting the line laid down in
Article IV of the Convention of the 14th June, 1898, return home and
can be consulted, the two Governments will be prepared to consider any
modifications of the above frontier line which may seem demrable toe the

1904, Avglo-Frmch Gon/vmtion Act, 1904. Oh. 33, 34.
porpoBe of determining the line of demarcation with greater aociiraej. In
order to avoid the inconvenience to either party whidi might resnlt from
the adoption of a line deviating from recognized and well-established
frontiers, it is agreed that, in those portions of the projected line where the
frontier is not determined by the trade routes, regard shall be had to the
present political divisions of the territories so that the tribes belonging to
the territories of Tessaoua-Maradi and Zinder shaU, as far as possible, be
left to France and those belonging to the territories of the British zone
shall, as £Eur as possible, be left to Great Britain.
It is farther agreed that, on Lake Chad, the frontier line shall, if
necessary, be modified so as to assure to France a communication through
open water at all seasons between her possessions on the north-west and
those on the sonth-east of the Lake and a portion of the surface of the
open waters of the Lake at least proportionate to that assigned to her by
the map forming Annex 2 of the Convention of the I4th June, 1898.
In that portion of the Biver Komadugu which is common to both
parties the populations on the banks shall have equal rights of fishing.
•
Article IX.
The present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be
exchanged at London, within eight months or earlier if possible.
In witness whereof his Excellency the Ambassador of the French
Republic at the Court of His Majesty the King of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British
Dominions beyond the Seas, Emperor of India, and His
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
duly authorized for that purpose, have signed the present
Convention and have affixed thereto their seals.
