Thence it shall rejoin by a straight line the 11 th degree of north latitude at the intersection of this parallel with the road which is shown on Map No. I as leading from Sansanne-Mango to Pama, via Jebigu (Djebiga). Article 2 The frontier between the British Colony of Lagofand the French Colony of Dahomey, which was delimited on the ground by the 70 Anglo-French Boundary Commission of 1895, and which is des­ cribed in the Report signed by the Commissioners of the two nations on the 12th October, 1896, shall henceforward be recognized as the frontier separating the British and French possessions from the sea to the 9th degree of north latitude. From the point of intersection of the River Ocpara with the 9th degree of north latitude, as determined by the said Commissioners, the frontier separating the British and French possessions shall proceed in a northerly direction, and follow a line passing west of the lands belonging to the following places, viz., Tabira, Okuta (Okouta), Boria, Tere, Gbani Ashigere (Yassikera), and Dekala. From the most westerly point of the lands belonging to Dekala the frontier shall be drawn in a northerly direction so as to coincide as far as possible with the line indicated on Map No. I annexed to the present Protocol, and shall strike the right bank of the Niger at a point situated 10 miles (16,093 metres) up-stream from the centre of the town of Gere (Guiris) (the port of llo), measured as the crow flies. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a boundary agreement between two colonial powers, defining the limits of their territories. It provides specific geographical coordinates and landmarks to determine the border. Given the context, it is likely that the text is related to the administration and governance of the colonies, rather than any specific economic or social activity.
