 Norton bay, first appears on our charts from an original of Kelletts in 1849. 

 I suppose the town gets its name from the same source, but what that is 

 we have nothing to show." Prof. George Davidson says that this nameless 

 cape on the original sheet bore the memorandum "fXame^' which the 

 draftsman interpreted to be C. Nome.
