made in the Coquille by M. Duperrey. 207 
In New Ireland, Messrs. Berard, Lottin, and Blosseville have 
taken jointly and in the greatest detail the plan of Port Pras- 
lin and of the creek belonging to the English, the plan of 
Cape Saint George, and the chart of the Strait of the same 
name which separates New Ireland from New Britain. 
In quitting New Ireland, the Coquille made a detailed sur- 
vey of the isles of Schouten, respecting which we had hitherto 
only rather confused notions. M. Duperrey made the chart 
of it. The harbour of Offak, in the isle Waigiou, of which 
the interior was little known, has been the object of peculiar 
labour, in which all the officers took part. M. Berard made 
the chart of that portion of the coast of New Guinea lying be- 
tween Dory and Auranswary ; the plan of the harbour of Doryis 
founded on the united observations of Messrs. Berard, Lottin, 
and De Blois. The chart of the coast between Dory and 
the Cape of Good Hope in New Guinea, is by M. Lottin. It 
is also to this officer we owe the map of the isles of Yang, si- 
tuated to the north of Rouib. 
Cruisings performed in very various directions in the Mo- 
luccas have furnished M. Duperrey with the elements of a new 
chart of this archipelago, and of that of the strait of Wangi- 
Wangi, to the east of the isle of Boutoun. Admiral D’Entre- 
casteaux saw only the northern coasts of the islands Savu and 
Benjoar, situated to the south-west of Timor; M. Berard has 
traced a great part of the southern coasts. The chart of the 
strait of Ombay and of the island of the Volcano is also formed 
upon the observations of the same officer. That of the island 
of Guébé is due to M. de Blois. 
In New Zealand, the labours of the Coquille had for their 
object the northern extremity only of the island Eaheinomauve ; 
they occupy four plates. The first shows the configuration 
of all the N.E. coast: it is by M. de Blois. The second repre- 
sents the Bay of the Isles, from the united labours of all the 
officers. The third gives the plan of the Bay of Manawa, by M. 
Berard. And the fourth, is the detailed plan of the river Ké- 
dékédé, laid down after the observations of M. de Blosseville. 
The isolated islands of Rotumah, Cocal, and Saint-Augustin 
were taken by Messrs. Berard and Lottin. 
In the archipelago of the Mulgrave Islands, the general 
chart of which M. Duperrey has drawn, M. de Blosseville has 
completed a survey of King’s Mill, Hopper, Wood and Hen- 
derville islands; and M. de Blois that of Hall’s Island; of an 
archipelago of five islands ; and lastly, of the Mulgrave Islands, 
properly called Marshall’s Islands. 
The vast archipelago of the Carolines, hitherto so imper- 
fectly known, has been the principal theatre of the geographic 
operations
