few miles up the latter river. My impression is that they were 

 so sketched. 



B. THE "PALUMA" NORTH OF CAPE GRENVILLE, 



1892-3 



That the " Paluma " made a survey from Cape Grenville to 

 Cape York in 1892-3 is evidenced by the legend 1 on Admiralty 

 Chart, No. 2919. (EE MAPS B AND A AND ADMIRALTY CHART, 

 No. 2919.) The names of the following coast-hills are probably 

 reminiscent of this survey: MESSUM HILL (11 44' S.), HELBY 

 HILL (11 30' S.), BOSANQUET HILL (11 24' S.). 



C. THE "PALUMA" NORTH OF CAPE WEYMOUTH, 



1893-4 



The " Paluma " also made a survey of the waterway and coast 

 to the north of Restoration Island (Cape VVeymouth) in 1 893-4.* 

 [SEE MAPS B AND A AND ADMIRALTY CHART, No. 2920 (3140).] 

 It is probably to this voyage that we owe the sketching of the 

 sand-dunes fringing TEMPLE BAY and the location of the mouth 

 of the OLIVE RIVER.'
