the Island beyond that. This is a condition from us and we trust that, God willing,

APPENDIX H
(Paragraph 96)
Statement of the Boundary claimed by the Saudi Arabian Government with Qatar
and Abu Dhabi—dated October 14 1949

The Saudi Arabian Government have already expressed their views about the
basis on which the frontiers between Saudi Arabia and the Imarates and the
Sheikhdoms of the Persian Gulf should be demarcated. The basic principle should
be to take account of what territory is under the authority of His Majesty King
Abdul Azis and what is under the authority of the Amirs and Sheikhs.
2. After detailed study of the tribal areas and of the facts, the Saudi Arabian
Government consider that the frontiers between Saudi Arabia and Qatar are as
follows: —
(a) The frontier between Qatar and the Saudi Arabian Kingdom starts from
a point at the coast of Dohat Salwa at 24° 56' North (point A). #
(b) From point A the line runs due East until it intersects longitude 51° 00
East (point B).
(c) The frontier runs in a straight line from point B until it reaches the sea
coast at latitude 24° 48' North (point C), leaving Amirah to the Saudi
Arabian Kingdom. This defines the frontier between Qatar and the
Saudi Arabian Kingdom.
3. The Saudi Arabian Government consider that the frontier line between
Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi starts from a point on the Persian Gull between
Bandar Al Mirfa and Bandar Al Maghira two kilometres east of Bandar Al Mina
