284 DISCOVERY OF VAN DIEMEN's LAND. 



should be given to the other Cape Frederick Henry, 

 forming the north point of Adventure Bay on Bruny 

 Island. Let the last-mentioned Cape bear the name of 

 its discoverer, and be rechristened "Cape Fimieaux." 

 This would remove one source of misapprehension. 



(2) Though it may not be possible at once to restore 

 the correct names of the bays, yet they may be indicated 

 without causing confusion, and indeed with distinct 

 advantage to the popular apprehension of our history. 

 In all future maps let the names originally given be added 

 in brackets. D'Entrecasteaux Bare du Nord would then 

 appear as ' : Frederick Henry Bay or North Bay," and in 

 Blackman's Bay would also be added "Fredrik Hetidrik's 

 Bay of Tasman." 



Thus to perpetuate the remembrance of the landing- 

 place of Tasman would be a graceful act of justice to the 

 memory of the great seaman who, two centuries and a 

 half ago, first circumnavigated Australia, and has given 

 his illustrious name to this fair island of Tasmania.
