coloured blue. — Raivaivai, or Vivitao ; Mr. Williams in- 

 forms me that the reef is here distant : Mr. Ellis, however, 

 says that this is certainly not the case on one side of the 

 isld. ; and he believes that the water within the reef is 

 not deep ; hence I have left it uncoloured. — Lancaster 

 Reef, described in Naut. Mag., 1833 (p. 693), as an 

 extensive crescent-formed coral-reef. I have not coloured 

 it. — Papa, or Oparree ; from the accounts given of it by 

 Ellis and Vancouver, there does not appear to be any 

 reef. — I. de Bass is an adjoining isld., of which I cannot 

 find any account. — Kemin Isld. ; Krusenstern seems hardly 

 to know its position, and gives no further particulars. 



Islands between the Low and Gilbert Archipelagoes. 



Caroline Isld. (io° S., 150 W.) is described by Mr. F. 

 D. Bennett {Geograph. Journ., vol. vii. p. 225) as contain- 

 ing a fine lagoon; coloured blue. — Flint Isld. (n° S., 

 15 1 ° W.)j Krusenstern believes that it is the same with 

 Peregrino, which is described by Quiros (Burney's Chron, 

 Hist., vol. ii. p. 283) as "a cluster of small islands con- 

 nected by a reef, and forming a lagoon in the middle;" 

 coloured blue. — Wostock is an isld. a little more than half 

 a mile in diameter, and apparently quite flat and low, and 

 was discovered by Bellinghausen ; it is situated a little west 

 of Caroline Isld., but it is not placed on the French charts ; 

 I have not coloured it, although I entertain little doubt 

 from the chart of Bellinghausen, that it originally contained 

 a small lagoon. — Penrhyn Isld. (9 S., 158 W.); a plan 

 of it in the atlas of the first voyage of Kotzebue, shows 

 that it is an atoll ; blue. — Starbuck Isld. (5 S., 156° W.) 

 is described in Lord Byron's Voyage in the Blonde (p. 206)
