4. The Saudi Arabian Government consider that these frontiers correspond
with reality, having regard to their authority and the authority of Abu Dhabi and
relying on the fact that the lands thereby allocated to Saudi Arabia are inhabited
by tribes owing allegiance to the Saudi Arabian Kingdom: the Bani Hajir, the
Awamir, the A1 Murrah, the Dawasir and other tribes.
5. As regards what lies to the South and East of the position 24° 25' North
and longitude 55° 36' East, this is under the authority of Sheikhdoms which are not
in treaty relations with the British Government. Therefore, the frontier between
the Saudi Arabian Kingdom and these Sheikhdoms will be agreed between the
Saudi Arabian Government and the Sheikhdoms in question.
6. As soon as they have received detailed information in the matter, the
Saudi Arabian Government will submit a statement about the demarcation of the
Southern frontier of the Saudi Arabian Kingdom.
