Strait — finality, at least, so far as explorers from without 

 the colony were concerned. Further corrections, due to the 

 discovery of new harbours on the West Coast, originated with 

 explorers within the colony. 



I have restricted this list to those navigators who actually 

 landed or at least anchored off the coast, appending the 

 names of one or two who only sighted it. Following the 

 names are the dates of their visits, from the day on which 

 land was sighted to that on which they lost it inclusive, so 

 far as I have been able to ascertain, and the bibliographical 

 description of the most complete known record of the voyage.
