to them; I have left it uncoloured, although, as in some 

 former cases, it ought probably to be pale blue. — Celebes. 

 The western and northern coasts appear in the charts to be 

 bold and without reefs. Near the extreme northern point, 

 however, an islet in the Straits of Limhe, and part of the 

 adjoining shore, appear to be fringed : the east side of 

 the bay of Manado has deep water, and is fringed by sand 

 and coral (Astrol. Voyage, Hydrog. Part, p. 453-4); this 

 extreme point, therefore, I have coloured red. Captain Keppell, 

 also, speaks (Expedition to Borneo, vol. i. p. 130) of the 

 shore being in parts fringed with reefs; he found upraised 

 coral-reefs at the height of from 80 to 100 feet above the 

 level of the sea. — Of the islands between the northern point of 

 Celebes and the Phillippines, I have not been able to find any 

 account, except of Serangani, which appears surrounded by 

 narrow reefs; and Forrest (Voyage, p. 164) speaks of coral on 

 its shores ; I have, therefore, coloured this island red. To the 

 eastward of this chain lie several islands ; of which I cannot 

 find any account, except of KarTcalang, which is said by 

 Horsburgh (vol. ii. p. 504) to be lined by a dangerous reef, 

 projecting several miles from the northern shore; not coloured. 

 Islands near Timor. — The account of the following islands 

 is taken from Captain D. KolfF's Voyage in 1825, translated by 

 Mr. "W. Earl from the Dutch. — Lette has l reefs extending 

 along shore at the distance of half a mile from the land.' — 

 Moa has reefs on the S.W. part. — Lahor has a reef lining its 

 shore ; these islands are coloured red. — Still more eastward, 

 Luan, differently from the last-mentioned islands, has an 

 extensive reef; it is steep outside, and within there is a 

 depth of 12 feet; from these facts, it is impossible to 

 decide to which class this island belongs. — Kissa, off the 

 point of Timor, has its ' shore fronted by a reef, steep too 

 on the outer side, over which small proahs can go at the time 

 of high water ;' coloured red. — Timor : most of the points, 

 and some considerable spaces of the northern shore, are seen
