Bouvet Island: see Bouvet0ya. 



BOUVET0YA [Norwegian]; BOUVET ISLAND 

 or BOUVET [conventional] : island, about 5 mi.

 Jan. 1, 1739 by a Fr. exp. under J. B. C. Bouvet de

 from determining the nature of his discovery. Al- 

 though evidence, recently uncovered, indicates that 

 Bouvet0ya was resighted in 1808 and identified as 

 an island by the British ships Snow Swan and 

 Otter, it was not until the German ship Valdivia
