COMMANDING OFFICER OF THE PORT OF WLADIVOStock, 27th March, 1892. TO THE IMPERIAL RUSSIAN CONSULATE, AT HONGKONG.

Being desirous to mark in the best manner the dangers of the Liman of the River Amoor, the navigation of which is rather difficult, and having found that marking the dangers with poles only is not sufficiently good, I have found it advisable to replace the poles by Buoys in the whole of the Liman. Besides the Liman has been divided in three sections, of which the Buoys are painted in different styles.

1. From de Kastris to Point Lazareff the Buoys are painted chequered.

2. From Point Lazareff to Point Prongué the Buoys are painted with vertical stripes, and 3. From Point Prongué to the town of Nicolayewsk with horizontal stripes.
