::''On the North.'' In the [[Windward Passage|Windward Channel]] – a line joining Caleta Point (74°15′W) in [[Cuba]] and Pearl Point (19°40′N) in [[Haiti]]. In the [[Mona Passage]] – a line joining [[Cape Engaño (Dominican Republic)|Cape Engaño]] and the extreme of Agujereada ({{coord|18|31|N|67|08|W|display=inline}}) in [[Puerto Rico]].

::''Eastern limits.'' From [[Point San Diego]] (Puerto Rico) northward along the meridian thereof (65°39′W) to the 100-fathom line, thence eastward and southward, in such a manner that all islands, shoals and narrow waters of the [[Lesser Antilles]] are included in the Caribbean Sea as far as but not including Trinidad. From before [[Trinidad]] to Baja Point ({{coord|9|32|N|61|0|W|display=inline}}) in [[Venezuela]].
