The Ceará stone reef. — I have seen the Ceará reef, but have never 
made a personal examination of it. The following notes are taken from 
Sir John Hawkshaw,’ who examined this port in 1875. 
Ceará is in 3° 43’ south latitude, 38º 33’ west of Greenwich. Mucu- 
ripe Point spoken of is “about seven kilometres to the eastward.” Mucu- 
ripe Point consists of sandstone rock, and is covered on shore with sand 
hills, but the low underlying rocks extend half a mile seaward at low 
water. “Mucuripe Point gives the roadstead of Ceará the appearance of 
а bay, . . . but the rocks project too little seaward and lie at too low a 
level to afford perfect shelter to the more distant anchorage at Ceará. 
There are more rocky shoals west of Mucuripe Point, with deep water 
between them, such as Meirelles reef, the Estrella Bank, the Velha reef, 
and the Согда Grande shoal. . . . The Recife do Porto, a reef of sand- 
stone stretching out in a diagonal direction from the shore at the east 
end of the town, is incorrectly shown on most of the charts. It gives 
some amount of protection at low water to lighters and small craft, but 
as the waves always wash over it except at low water equinoctial spring 
tides, this protection is very insufficient.”
