Kangaroo Island (native name " Karta.")— Was named by 

 Flinders when mapping the coast of South Australia, March 

 23rd, 1802. Here he secured thirty-one marsupials like those 

 seen by Captain Cook in New South Wales, and, in gratitude for 

 a seasonable supply of meat, adopted the name " Kangaroo."' He 

 left the island on April 6th, and two days after met the French 

 captain. Baudin, in the corvette Le Geographe, who had approached 

 from the south east, engaged in similar work. As strained relations 

 existed between England and France, Flinders cleared his vessel 

 for action, but, receiving signs of peaceable intentions, he shortly 

 after went on board, and next day named the water as far as could 

 be seen either way "• Encounter Bay." Having exchanged cour- 

 tesies, and showed each other their maps. Flinders proceeded direct 

 to Port Phillip, and Baudin, passing on presumably to the north 

 side of the island, landed near Hog Bay, where it is supposed he left 

 the hogs, from which the bay takes its name. He then, or some 

 time later, cut an inscription on a rock about 6ft. high as a record 

 of his visit, since known as "The Frenchman's Rock." The 

 inscription is as follows : — " Expedition de decouverte par le 

 Commendant (sic) Baudin sur Le Geographe, 1803*" (? 1802).
