250 AFGHANISTAN—NO. IX—1 SB7.
mg them in accordance with the customs in force in regard to those of Khamiab,
when the waters of the Amou-Daria are too low to supply directly the canal-heads
of Konili. The officers who shall be charged to execute on the spot the provisions
of the present Protocol between the above-named pillars shall be bound to place
a sufficient number of intermediate pillars, taking advantage for this purpose
as much as possible of the salient points.
3.
The clause in Protocol No. 4 of the 14th (26th) December 1885. prohibiting the
Afghans from making use of the irriga ting canals in the Kushk ^ alley below Chahil
Dukhter which were not in use at that time, remains in force, but it is understood
that this clause can only be applied to the canals supplied by the Kushk- The
Afghans shall not have the right to make use of the waters of the Kushk for
their agricultural works north of Chahil Dukhter ; but the waters of the Moghur
belong exclusively to them, and they may carry out any works they may think
necessary in order to make use of them.
4.
The clauses in Protocols No. 4 of the 14th (26th) December 1885, and No. 15
of the 1st (13th) September 1886, relative to the construction of a dam on the
Murghab. remain in force. M. Zinoview having expressed the wish that the obli
gation imposed on the Amir of Afghanistan to give up for this purpose a tract
of land on the right bank of the Murghab under the conditions stipulated in the
said protocols, should be extended to the whole course of the river below the canal-
head of Yaki-Yuz, Colonel Ridgeway is of opinion that the necessary steps to
obtain the assent of the Amir might delay the conclusion of the present arrange
ment ; but he is nevertheless convinced that the assent of the Amir to the cession,
under the same conditions, of a tract of land on the right bank can be obtained
without difficulty, if later on the Imperial Government should inform Her Bri
tannic Majesty's Government of their intention of proceeding to the construc
tion of a dam above the canal-head of Bendi-Nadiri.
5.
The British Government will communicate without delav to the Amir of
Afghanistan the arrangements herein agreed upon, and the Imperial Govern
ment of Russia will enter into possession of the territorv adjudged to them by
the present protocol from the 1st (13th) October of the present year.
6 .
The frontier agreed upon shall be locally demarcated by a Mixed Commission*
according to the signed maps. In case the work of demarcation should be delayed
the line traced on the maps shall nevertheless be considered binding by the two
Governments.
W. Ridgeway.
