1. The mines referred to below are magnetic type of Russian origin,
each mine protected with a special covering preventing explosion
in case of contact with a neighboring mine. Taey are hooked to-
gether in columns with chain cable and anchored at each end of
the column. The mines are laid according to the Russian system.
Mines laid by the Germans and Western Allies are designated with
buoys, as there is no secret about their location.
2. Minefields are being laid in the area along the coast of IsolL
Grossa.
3. Russian minelayers are laying new minefields in the vicinity of
the small island of Scarda.
4. The route of safe entry to Split is between Torcola (Lesine)
Island and Scoglio Planchetta (Curzola). There are no longer
German mines in this area, and new minefields have not yet been
laid.
Fields of mines are laid in an east-west direction,
