Houmet Benest. 



Situated about 200 yards from the extremity 



across a rough shingly beach which is open during the greater part of 

 each tide. In shape this islet is narrowly triangular, with irregularly 

 indented sides ; its greatest length being approximately 80 yards, and 

 its width at the base or eastern end, about 50 yards. Scattered masses 

 of rock protrude here and there over the whole surface, which slopes 

 gently on all sides, from about the middle. Within this small area 

 no less than sixty-nine plants occur, as enumerated below. There 

 is another green islet of much smaller size on the south-west side, 

 separated from the present one by a wide and deep channel ; but it is 

 not properly entitled to rank with those described in this paper, as 

 it is never completely surrounded by the sea.
