it Moscovit Mont, but this is probably the peak on the E. coast so 

 named in Edge's chart, which appears as Mount Hedgehog in 

 modern maps. Scoresby is the first authority I have yet found 

 for the name Horn Mount. 



Horn Sound. — Named by Hudson (1607). The name is confused into 

 " Horv Son dor Hoorn Sond" (G. and R., 1707) ; and into Horizond 

 Bay (Zorgdrager). 



Dun Islands. — These appear to be the Lammas I. of Hondius (161 1). 



Rheeland {Roebuckland), named first in Van Keulen (1689). 



Slaadberg (G. and R., 1707), a hill between Schoonhoven and Dunder 

 Bay. 



Bell Point. — The promontory S. of Bell Sound, so named in Gerritsz 

 (1613) and ever since. 



Bell Sound. — The Inwyck of Barendsz. The name first appears in 

 Joris (1614). It is the designation of the whole group of sounds 

 or merely of the mouth outside the junction of the inner bays. 

 Sometimes it is called Clock (Klok) Bay or Rivier (first by Blaeu 

 1664). The nomenclature of the different branches of this Sound 

 is the most confused in the whole island. It divides into three 

 branches, (a) Schoonhoven (Recherche Bay) which goes S. ; {&) 

 Sardam Bay (Van Keulen) which goes SE. ; and (c) Low Sound 

 (Van Mijen), which goes NE. The difficulty of finding the correct 

 nomenclature arises from the fact that many of the early charts 

 depict four branches, the fourth being a duplication of Sardam 

 Bay as a branch of Schoonhoven. Taking the branches in order 

 they are : — 



Schoonhoven. — So first named in Gerritsz (16 13), and continuously there- 

 after (or in English Lair Haven, Clean Bay, or merely Bell Sound). 

 It was the great place of assembly for the whaling fleet about to 

 return home, during two centuries. The alteration of this name 

 to Recherche Bay by the French Expedition, which spent eleven 

 days there in 1838, was a most unwarrantable mutilation of 

 history. 



Rheen Eylandt (Blaeu, 1664). — An island at the head of Schoon- 

 hoven. 



Sardam Bay (Guerard, 1628). — Described in Gerritsz (1613) as Baye 

 des Franchoys. The name Michel Rinders Rivier also appears in 

 Guerard in connection with this bay, so that one name or the other 

 may apply to some minor bay within the larger. The name of 

 Van Keulen in connection with these waters first appears as / \ui
