ence in physical geography, must probably have been very 
remarkable ; and, combined with information derivable from 
the charts, and from the specimens for which we are in- 
debted to Captain King and Mr. Brown, they would seem 
to point out the arrangement of the strata on the northern 
coasts of New Holland. 
Of the three ranges which attracted Captain Flinders’s no- 
tice, (see the subjoined Map,) the first oh the south-east, 
(3, 4, 5, 6, 7,) is that which includes the Red Cliffs, Malli- 
son’s Island, a part of the coast of Arnhem’s Land, from 
Cape Newbold to Cape Wilberforce, and Bromby’s Isles ; 
and its length, from the main land (3) on the south-west of 
Mallison’s Island, to Bromby’s Isles, (7) is more than fifty 
miles, in a direction nearly from south-west to north-east. 
The English Company’s Islands, (2, 2, 2, 2,) at a distance 
of about four miles, are of equal extent ; and the general 
trending of them all, Captain Flinders states (p. 233), is 
nearly N.E. by E., ‘ parallel with the line of the main coast, 
and with Bromby’s Islands.’ — Wessell’s Islands, (1, 1, 1, 1,) 
the third or most northern chain, at fourteen miles from 
the second range, stretch out to more than eighty miles 
from the main land, likewise in the same direction.
