One of the largest is Port Salvador, extending from the north coast of E. 
P'alkland far inland nearly to the base of the Wickham Heights.' Its entrance is 
narrow, widening inwards to a broader central water from which intrude inland 
a multitude of branches. In the inner parts the depth does not exceed I2 — 13 
fathoms, but in the entrance the Admiralty chart records 17 — 21, in one place 
even 25 fath. (See Fig. 2.) 
East of Port Salvador we meet Berkeley Sound, a broad, open bay branch- 
ing in the interior in several »creeks». The direction of the broad bay as well as 
its branches is in accordance with the strike of the folds E. — W. The creeks are 
very shallow, in the inner part of the head bay, named Port Louis, the depth is 
5 — 7 fath. and it increases towards the mouth, where it reaches 27 fath. 
S. of Berkeley Sound there occur along the east coast a number of small bays 
which are extended in E. — W. direction, following the strike of the folds. These 
are Port William with Stanley Har- 
bour, Port Harriet, Port Fitzroy, and 
Port Pleasant. Some of these bays 
extend inland with narrow and shal- 
low, riverlike creeks, as Port William 
with Murrel River, Port Pleasant with 
Island Harbour etc. The maximum 
depth of these bays varies from 
6 — 15 fathoms. 
The big SW. peninsula is cut 
off from the main East Falkland Is- 
land by a large bay, Choiseul Sound, 
the depth of which increases from 
10 to 19 fathoms towards the outer part. In Choiseul Sound open several long 
riverlike creeks. Swan Inlet, Bodie Inlet (Fig. 14) etc. 
From Falkland Sound Brenton Loch (max. depth 10 fath.) runs in towards 
Choiseul Sound, leaving only a narrow isthmus between them. Another consider- 
able bay on the W. coast of E. Falkland is Port San Carlos (max. depth 26 fath.). 
The principal bays in W. Falkland are on the east coast; Many Branch Har- 
bour (9 fath, in the entrance 12 fath.). Port Howard (8 fath.). Fox. Bay (20 fath.), 
and Port Edgar (16 fath.), that extends inland through a narrow branch to a wide 
water, which comes much nearer the west coast than indicated by the Admiralty 
chart. 
' PL 9 near the right edge there is seen a branch of Port Salvador. Other parts of the same 
wide water-system are indistinctly discerned in the distance on the flat land N. of the Wickham Heights
