APPENDIX. 
A. more than a mile and a half long; it is very small, but 
remarkable for having two clumps of trees, which at a dis- 
tance give it the appearance of being two small islets; it 
is low, and, like the other islands of its character, may be 
seen at ten miles from the deck : its latitude is 1 3° 54' 45", 
and longitude 143° 46'. (See vol. i. p. 379.) 
1 is a long narrow coral reef, extending in a N.N.E. di- 
rection ; it is thirteen miles in extent, but generally not more 
than one-third of a mile wide ; its greatest width is not more 
than a mile and a half ; its south-west end is five miles and 
three-quarters north from Pelican Island. 
m is an extensive coral reef, extending for fifteen miles in 
N.E.b.N. direction, parallel with 1 , from which it is se- 
parated by a channel of from one to two miles wide. At its 
south-west end, where there is an extensive dry sandy key, 
and some dry rocks, it is two miles wide ; but towards its 
northern end it tapers away to the breadth of a quarter of 
a mile. The south trend of its south-west end lies seven 
miles N. 44° W. from Pelican Island, and four miles from 
Island 2 of Claremont Isles. 
n is another extensive reef, which may possibly be con- 
nected with m. At its westernmost end, about four miles 
N b.E.iE. from the west end of m., is a dry sand of small 
extent. 
It was considered probable that there was a safe passage 
between the reefs I and m. We steered so far as to see the 
termination of the latter, upon which the sea was breaking, 
which afforded a proof of its not being connected with the 
former, which also the dark colour of the water sufficiently 
indicated.
