Portuguese Timor, which occupies the northern half of the island of Timor, lies between 8° 30’ and 9° 30’ south latitude and 125° and 126° 30’ east longitude. The area of the main portion is about 6,325 square miles, and that of the Ocussi enclave, a territory belonging to Portugal on the northern coast of Dutch Timor, about 950 square miles. The island of Kambing, off the northren coast, also belongs to Portugal; its area is 55 square miles. The total area of the colony is thus approximately 7,330 square miles.

The boundary between Dutch and Portuguese territory is formed by a line drawn between the mouth of the Biku and the Talas, on the north and south respectively, which at its central portion makes a decided bend eastward. The boundaries of the enclave are lines running roughly north-east and south-west from the mouths of the Besi and the Meto respectively.
