 of a voyage to Congo in the years 1666 and 1667. Pinkerton's 

 collection of Voyages and Travels, London, 1814, Vol. XVI. 152. 

 The authors of this account touched at Pernambuco on their way to 

 Africa. In the first part of it Angelo speaks of "a wall . . . which cred- 

 ible people say is natural, running three hundred miles, one part of it 

 enclosing the harbour."

 This paper is a separate from the " Bijdr. en Meded. II." The article 



is said to be from the " Archief van Hilten," and is dated January 19, 



1608. 



Speaking of Pernambuco (p. 306) the author says: "This haven is 



wonderfully situated, for it has a continuous stone wall just like a dike, 



forty paces or more in width, and from the bar it extends for more than 



a mile in front of Recife, and on the inside it makes the liarbor big 



enough to hold many ships." 



Anonymous. Nautical Magazine for July, 1861, p. 34:5-34:9, contains 

 an article quoted from the Monifeur de la Flotte. 

 It says the Pernambuco reef is made by " coral insects." References 

 to schistosity, vertical dips, and parallelism of the reefs with the moun- 

 tain systems of Europe suggest that the article may have been written by 

 M. Liais.
