 follows the administrative boundaries formerly separating the provinces of Bohemia and Moravia from those of upper and lower Austria subject to | certain minor rectifications, notably in | the region of Gmund and Feldsberg and along the river Moravia. The | frontier with Italy begins at the Res ! chen Pass on the Swiss frontier and [ follows in general and watershed be- tween the basins of the Inn and the , Drave on the north and Adige, Piave i and Tagliamento on the south. This | line which runs through Brenner Pass l and the peak of the Signori (Dreiher- 1 renspitze) includes in the Italian iron 1 tiers the valley of Sachsen and the l basin Of Tarvis.
 Fast of the Tarvis region the Aus trian frontier follows the Karawanken mountains to a point southeast of Eil- lach, then runs north to the Worther- see, the towns of Klagenfurt and Volkermarkt, thence along the north Of the Drave in such a manner as to leave to the Serb -Croata- -Slovene state Marburg and Radkersburg, just to the north of which latter place it will join the Hungarian frontier.
 The disposition of the Klagenfurt basin which lies to the south of this l line will be determined by plebiscite to be held within six months from the coming of the treaty, the Austrian au thorities to be withrawn. In case majority of the population votes for union with Austria. the southern from tier of Austria will continue along the Karawanken mountains to point : southeast of Eisenkappel, thence northeast passing east of Bleiburg, traversing the Drave just above it's confluence with the LaVant then re- join the frontier already traced.
 The western and northwestern from tiers facing Bavaria. the western frontier facing Switzerland, an the eastern frontier facing Hungary, re- main unchanged.
