| 4 | In India, the union territory of Puducherry (ex-Pondicherry) comprises four districts: Puducherry and Karaikal in the state of Tamil Nadu, Yanam in the state of Andhra Pradesh, and Mahé in the state of Kerala.

| 5 | In Australia, the Australian Capital Territory is an enclave of New South Wales. The ACT used to administer the separate coastal enclave of Jervis Bay on the New South Wales south coast. The Jervis Bay Territory is now administered by the Attorney General's Department. The Australian constitution (written before the founding of the ACT) specified that the site for the national capital should be wholly within New South Wales. Beecroft Peninsula is a peninsula located to the north and east of Jervis Bay in south-eastern Australia. The peninsula forms the northern headland of Jervis Bay. The Peninsula is divided between the state of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. The ACT section was transferred to the Commonwealth of Australia in 1915, as part of the Jervis Bay lands transferred by New South Wales to federal control to provide the national capital with access to the sea. While the bulk of this land was established as a separate Jervis Bay Territory when the Australian Capital Territory was granted self-government, the portion on the Beecroft Peninsula remained part of the ACT. The ACT portion of the peninsula consists of a strip of land around the southern edge of the peninsula, which is the northern headland of Jervis Bay. However, the lighthouse (and its grounds) at Point Perpendicular, which is the southern tip of the peninsula and at the northern entrance to Jervis Bay, remains an enclave of New South Wales territory within the ACT's exclave. A large part of the peninsula (both NSW and ACT portions) is under the administration of the Royal Australian Navy for use as a live-firing range; access to this part of the peninsula is restricted at certain times. | 107685 |
