206 APPENDIX. 



and hence I have applied the red colour with rather greater 

 freedom than in other instances. — Matthew's Pock, an active 

 volcano, some way south of the group, (of which a plan is 

 given in the Atlas of the Astrolabe's Voyage), does not 

 appear to have reefs of any kind about it. — Annatom, the 

 southernmost of the Hebrides ; from a rough woodcut 

 given in the United Service Journal (1831, part iii. p. 

 190), accompanying a paper by Mr. Bennett, it appears 

 that the shore is fringed ; coloured red. — Tanna; Forster, 

 in his Observations (p. 22), says Tanna has on its shores 

 coral-rock and madrepores; and the younger Forster, 

 in his account (vol. ii. p. 269) speaking of the harbour 

 says, the whole S.E. side consists of coral-reefs, which are 

 overflowed at high-water; part of the southern shore in 

 Cook's chart is represented as fringed ; coloured red. — 

 Immer is described {United Service Journ., 1831, part iii. 

 p. 192) by Mr. Bennett as being of moderate elevation, 

 with cliffs appearing like sandstone : coral grows in patches 

 on its shore, but I have not coloured it ; and I mention 

 these facts, because Immer might have been thought from 

 Forster's classification {Observations, p. 14), to have been 

 a low island or even an atoll. — Errontango Isld. ; Cook 

 (2nd Voyage, vol. ii. p. 45, 4to edit.) speaks of rocks every- 

 where lining the coast, and the natives offered to haul his 

 boat over the breakers to the sandy beach : Mr. Bennett, in 

 a letter to the editor of the Singapore Chron., alludes to 

 the reefs on its shores. It may, I think, be safely inferred 

 from these passages that the shore is fringed in parts by 

 coral-reefs; coloured red. — Sandwich Isld., the east coast 

 is said (Cook's 2?id Voyage, vol. ii. p. 41) to be low, and to 

 be guarded by a chain of breakers. In the accompanying 

 chart it is seen to be fringed by a reef; coloured red. — 

 Mallicollo; Forster speaks of the reef-bounded shore : the
