refpedt, merit their notice. There are many of them 
on fubjedts which I am but little acquainted with : 
thefe were made only for my own amufement, and 
are now fubmitted to the Royal Society, at their 
command, and und£r a thorough conviction that 
they will be read with thofe candid allowances, which, 
I am well convinced, they (land much in need of. 
At the fame time, I fincerely declare, that it would 
give me the higheft fatisfaCtion if they fhould be 
found to contain one ufeful hint, or be conducive of 
pleafure to any perfon whatfoever. 
I (hall conclude the whole with the latitudes and 
longitudes of the following places, which are all that 
I had an opportunity of determining with any to- 
lerable degree of accuracy : and thefe all depend, 
more or lefs, on the (hip’s run j fome of them for 
confiderable diftances. But they are done with care, 
and all the accuracy that I was capable of. Thofe 
that are marked thus (:) are lefs certain than the others.
