III. The discussions which have been provided for in Article V of
the Declaration shall take place between the three contracting
parties at a place to be designated by them for that purpose for
the meeting of their delegates.
IV. Autonomous Outer Mongolia comprises the regions hitherto under
the jurisdiction of the Chinese Amban of Urga, the Tartar General
of Uliasoutai and the Chinese Amban of Kobdo. In view of the fact
that there are no detailed maps of Mongolia, and that the
boundaries of the administrative divisions of this country are
ill-defined, it is hereby agreed that the precise boundaries of
Outer Mongolia, as well as the delimitation of the district of
Kobdo and the district of Altai, shall be the subject of
subsequent negotiations as provided for by Article V of the
Declaration.
The undersigned seizes the present occasion to renew to His
Excellency Sun Pao Chi the assurance of his highest consideration.
(Signed) B. KRUPENSKY.
In signing the Declaration of to-day's date covering Outer

Republic of China, duly authorized to that effect, has the honour
to declare in the name of his Government to His Excellency
Monsieur Krupensky, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary of His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias as
follows:
I. Russia recognizes that the territory of Outer Mongolia forms
part of the territory of China.
