south, and seven miles broad. Moreton Island is twenty miles 

 in extreme length about north and south, and five miles in breadth 

 near the north end. Very few good working collectors have ever 

 visited Moreton Island, with its extensive range of long sandy 

 beaches with large stones that can be turned over at low water 

 spring tides. In the bay there are smaller islands and sandbanks 

 with shoals on which dredging can be carried on with but little 

 trouble. The only persons who did any good dredging in the bay 

 were the late Mr. Fred. Strange and young Mr. Spurling, who 

 unfortunately lost their lives in the service at Percy Island No. 

 II., by being killed by the aborigines. 



This list is made out from those species collected by the late 

 Mr. Charles Coxen, of Brisbane, Queensland, he having paid 

 frequent visits to various parts of the bay. He was busy arranging 

 his valuable discoveries and corresponding with me up to the time 

 of his death in July, 1876. I am under great obligation to Mrs. 

 Coxen in her endeavours to assist me with the use of her lamented 

 husband's papers and notes.
