are as follows:
(a) If this line were drawn due North and South niidwajr
hot ween Budaiya (the point nearest the Saudi
mainland) on Manama Island and the Saudi mainland
then it appears to me that Lihaina al Saghir
would fall to the Saudis and Lihaina al Xhahir to
Bahrain*
(h) But Bahrain internationally includes all the
territory under the Bahrain Government in which case
the due North and South line should he drawn midway
between Uma Na 9 san 9 which hy common consent belongs
to Bahrain, and the Saudi mainland* In this case
it appears to me that both islands would definitely
fall to Bahrain.
(o) I imagine, however, that the Saudi line if ever
drawn would not he due North and South hut would he
equidistant from both territories following the
configuration of the coast line* In this case
(1) if the line is equidistant between the Saudi
mainland and the Island of Manama both Lihaina
al Saghir and Lihaina al JChabir would appar
ently fall to Saudi Arabia.
(2) If the line is equidistant between the Saudi
mainland and Uaa Nassau Lihaina al Aaghir
would apparently fall to Bahrain and Lihaina
al Khabir probably to Saudi \rabia.
