303
The object of the present exchange of notes being to establish the agreement arrived at between the two Governments, the necessary instructions will be sent to the Customs authorities of Servia, with the view to the agreement being carried into effect.
I have, consequently, the honour, my Lord, to have recourse to your good offices in begging you to be good enough to make the necessary communication to your High Government, in order that similar instructions may
be
given to the Customs authorities of the United Kingdom.
In conformity with the wish expressed by you, in the name of your Government, I will not fail to take the necessary steps in order that, after having taken the advice of my colleague, the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, negotiations may shortly be commenced between our two Governments, with the view to the conclusion of a definitive Treaty of Commerce.
In communicating, &c.
(Signed) J. AVACOUMOVITCH.

(1496.) NANBŌ SHOTŌ (ISLANDS SOUTH OF TOKYO GULF).—ANCHORAGE ON HACHIJŰ-JIMA.
The following information has been received from Navigating Lieutenant R. YEGUCHI of H.1.J.M.S. Yaye-yama 22nd February 1893, that Borawasawa bay situated on the South-east end of Hachijō-jima, affords anchorage in 19 fathoms water (sand) on nearly the aligument of the entrance points, distaut mile from Mikoshita rock.
Off this anchorage two rocks named Uro-o-ne lie close to each other; the former is forty feet high above water, the latter is an awash rock. From this anchorage toward the watering place (close to two huts) on the northern shore of the bay, the water shoals rather quickly to 17,15, and 11 fathoms, then 9 and 10 fathoms abreast Uro-o-ne rocks, thence the depths decrease gradually until the bottom (sand) will be visible.
About half mile westward of the south point of the bay is a landing place for boats, and near Ögagō, a village of the west side of this island is a cove named Yaye-ne. It is said that, mail steamers will anchor in Borawasawa, Yaye-nc, or Kami-minato according to the directions of wind. (See appended sketch.)
