Abstract
IN the note which I did myself the honour to address to you on the 16th ultimo, I stated that Her Majesty’s Government were disposed to suggest that the boundary between the British and German Protectorates in New Guinea should be, on the north-eastern coast, the point of intersection of the 8th parallel of south latitude, and that, as regards the interior, a fair and equal division of the territories should be arrived at by means of a conventional line or lines, to be drawn from the coast boundary to some point on the 141st meridian of east longitude, which divides the Dutch possessions from the rest of the island.
