as formed of a flat coral-rock, with no trees ; the height not 

 given; not coloured. — Maiden Isld. (4 S., 154 W.); in 

 the same voyage (p. 205) this isld. is said to be of coral- 

 formation, and no part above 40 feet high; I have not 

 ventured to colour it, although, from being of coral- 

 formation, it is probably fringed ; in which case it should 

 be red.— farm's, or Bunker Isld. (o° 20' S., 160 W.) is 

 described by Mr. F. D. Bennett {Geograph. Journ., vol. vii. 

 p. 227) as a narrow, low strip of coral-formation; not 

 coloured. — Brook is a small, low isld. between the two 

 latter; the position, and perhaps even the existence of it 

 is doubtful ; not coloured. — Pescado and Humphrey Islands ; 

 I can find out nothing about these islands, except that 

 the latter appears to be small and low; not coloured. — 

 Rear son, or Grand Duke Alexander's (io° S., 161 W.) ; 

 an atoll, of which a plan is given by Bellinghausen ; 

 blue. — Souvoroff Islands (13 S., 163 W.); Admiral 

 Krusenstern, in the most obliging manner, obtained for 

 me an account of these islands from Admiral LazarerT 

 who discovered them. They consist of five very low 

 islands of coral-formation, two of which are connected by a 

 reef, with deep water close to it. They do not surround a 

 lagoon, but are so placed that a line drawn through them 

 includes an oval space, part of which is shallow; these 

 islets, therefore, probably once (as is the case with some of 

 the islands in the Caroline Arch.) formed a single atoll ; 

 but I have not coloured them. — Danger Isld. (io° S., 166 

 W.) ; described as low by Com. Byron, and more lately 

 surveyed by Bellinghausen ; it is a small atoll with three 

 islets on it; blue. — Clarence Isld. (9 S., 172 W.); dis- 

 covered in the Pandora (G. Hamilton's Voyage, p. 75) : it 

 is said, " in running along the land, we saw several canoes 

 crossing the lagoons; " as this island is in the close vicinity
