138 REMARKS AND OPINIONS. 



felands, discovered by our navigators, have been 

 found in these limits ; namely, 



The island seen by Captain Mulgrave in the 

 Sugar-Cane, in 1793, and by Don J. Ibargoitia, in 

 1801 ; which the latter (without assigning a reason) 

 and Arrowsmith take for Quiroso, or St. Bartho- 

 lomew, a large, tolerably high island, which Quiros

 Ibargoitia recognizes Quiroso in an island, which
