V. Positions of different Places on the North Coast of Africa^ 

 determined by Don Dionysio Alcala Galiano. 



The best chart of the Mediterranean, which has yet appeared, 

 was published by the Spaniards, in the year 1804, under the 

 following title : " Carta esferica que comprehende las costas de 

 Itaha, las del Mar Adriatico, des de Cabo Venere hasta las islas 

 Sapiencie en la Morea, y las correspondientes de Africa, parte 

 de las islas de Concega, y Cerdena, con las demas que compre- 

 hende este mar ec. Corregida la costa de Africa y las islas de 

 Siciha, de Lipari y Sapiencie en 1804, por las observationes ec. 

 por D. Dionysio Alcala Galiano ec." 



The latitudes and longitudes in that chart correspond well with 

 those given by Captain Smyth. Hence there is eveiy reason to 

 trust in the precision of the following places on the northern 

 coast of Africa, taken from Galiano's chart :
