FIRING AREAS.

[s. 3.]

Note. (1) All latitudes are N. and longitudes E. Latitudes and longitudes taken from Admiralty Charts Nos. 3429, 1466, 3605, 3280, 3279, 3612 and 1180, but longitudes from Charts Nos. 1180, 3612 and 3605 have been decreased by 9".

(2) Map references in Firing Area B are taken from the revised edition (1938) of the 1: 20,000 map, sheets 16 and 20.

(a) FIRING AREA A—

The area included in this firing area is bounded as follows-- By a line starting from high water mark at western end of Stone- cutters Island (latitude 22° 19′ 10′′-longitude 114° 07′ 46′′), thence across to Green Island (latitude 22° 17′ 15′′-longitude 114° 06′ 36′′), thence across to eastern shore of Lantau at latitude 22° 17′ 45′′- -longitude 114° 01′ 23′′, thence following high water mark along the eastern shore of Lantau to latitude 22° 20′ 13′′-longitude 114° 03′ 20′′, thence across to Chung Hue at latitude 22° 19′ 42′′— longitude 114° 05′ 26′′, thence following high water mark along the southern shore of Chung Hue to latitude 22° 20′ 00′′-longitude 114° 06′ 20′′, thence along the eastern shore of Chung Hue to latitude 22° 20′ 37′′-longitude 114° 03′ 26′′, thence to the island at latitude 22° 20′ 46′′-longitude 114° 07′ 15′′, thence to Stonecutters Island at latitude 22° 19′ 37′′-longitude 114° 08′ 05′′, thence along the shore of Stonecutters Island westwards to starting point.

(b) FIRING AREA B-

The area included in this firing area is bounded as follows- By a line starting at a point on the high water mark in Portshelter map reference 668067 (latitude 22° 20′ 57′′ longitude 114° 15′ 53′′) thence in a direction 075° to point 79 map reference 701076 (latitude 22° 21′ 22′′ longitude 114° 17′ 38′′) on the South end of the island known as Kiu Tsiu Chau (Sharp Island) thence in a direction 045° to the North West point of Urn Island map reference 729103 (latitude 22° 22′ 41′′ longitude 114° 19′ 08′′) thence along the high water line round the East of the island to the South East point map reference 738090 (latitude 22° 22′ 02′′ longitude 114° 19′ 36′′) thence in a direction 154° to map reference 755054 (latitude 22° 20′ 12′′ longitude 114° 20′ 30′′) thence in a direction 100 to North shore on islet map reference 782049 (latitude 22° 19′ 58′′ longitude 114° 21′ 57′′) thence in a direction 054° to map reference 807067 (latitude 22° 20′ 48′′ longitude 114° 23′ 18′′) thence in a direction 141° to map reference 824046 (latitude 22° 19′ 45′′ longitude 114° 24′ 10′′) thence in a direction 205° to South East extremity of East Ninepin Island map reference 787969 (latitude 22° 15′ 57′′ longitude 114° 22′ 06′′) thence in a direction 263 to map reference 749964 (latitude 22° 15′ 47′′ longitude 114° 20′ 05′′) thence in a direction 301° 30′ to map reference 703992 (latitude 22° 17′ 13′′ longitude 114° 17′ 38′′) thence in a direction 347° to a point on the high water mark map reference 697018 (latitude 22° 18′ 31′′ longitude 114° 17′ 22′′) thence along high water mark to map reference 695030 (latitude 22° 19′ 05′′ longitude 114° 17′ 17′′) thence in a straight line to a point on the high water mark map reference 685034 (latitude 22° 19′ 18′′ longitude 114° 16′ 43′′) thence along high water mark to the starting point.
