This strait is located between Liat/Pongok/Middle island in the north and Lepar island in the south, South Bangka regency, Bangka Belitung.
Captain Hurle, returning from China in the English Ship Macclesfield, had previously passed through them, in March 1702. Pulo Leat, or Middle Island, separates these straits into two principal branches; that to the westward, betwixt it and the S.E. part of Bangka, is often called Macclesfield Strait, and the eastern branch, situated betwixt Middle Island, and Long Island, near Billiton, is generally called Clements' Strait.
