 Cabinet Islet between Mounts Denuce and Holmes,

 Mabus Pt., off Queen Mary Coast; in about 66°29'S.,

 Committee on Antarctic Names proposed in 1955 

 that the name Haswell be extended to the entire 

 group of islets because of the greater recognition 

 gained by the Haswell Islet name. Not adopted: 

 Rookery Islands.

 which marks the physical division between Knox 

 and Budd Coasts, lying at the E. side of the head
