and is terminated by a round hill ; the coast then extends 
with a low sandy beach for eleven miles to Cape Sidmouth. 
C is a covered reef of coral, extending N.E.b.E. and 
S.W.b.W. for seventeen miles: its south-west end bears 
N. 75° W., twelve miles and a half, from Cape Flin- 
ders. 
d, e, and f, are three coral banks, having dry sandy keys 
on each ; they are of circular shape, and from a mile to a 
third of a mile in diameter: d is the largest, and bears 
nearly due-west from Cape Flinders, from which it is distant 
twelve miles and a half. 
g and h are two coral reefs ; but it was not ascertained 
whether they are connected to each other or not : they may 
also be joined to c, and indeed this supposition is very 
likely to be correct, for we found the water quite smooth, 
and little or no set of tide on passing them. On the south- 
west extremity of g, in latitude 14° 1' 20", longitude 143° 
60', there is a dry sandy key, as there is also upon h, but 
on the latter there are also rocks, and the sand is dry for 
four or five miles along its north-west side : the south-west 
end of h is in latitude 13° 59', longitude 143° 49'. 
i is a circular coral reef, of a mile and a quarter in 
diameter, and has a dry sandy key at its north-west end ; it 
is two miles N.N.W. from the south-west end of h. 
k is a small reef with a sandy key upon it, four miles to 
the east of Pelican Island. 
PELICAN ISLAND is on the north-west side of a reef of
