A. q is a small, brown, rocky shoal, that is not visible until 
close to it; it bears S, 60° E., four miles from the extremity 
N. East of Cape Sidmouth, 
Coast. 
CAPE SIDMOUTH is rather an elevated point, having 
higher land behind it ; and at about nine miles in the in- 
terior, to the W.N.W., there is a rounded summit : at the 
extremity of the cape there are two remarkable lumps on the 
land, in latitude 13° 24' 20", and longitude 143° 30'. The 
cape is fronted by several rocky shoals, and ought not to be 
approached within four miles. 
r is a sand-bank, on which we had two and a half fa- 
thoms ; but from the nature of the other neighbouring reefs, 
S and t, it is perhaps rocky also, and may be connected with 
them. It lies four miles and a quarter N. 32° E. from Cape 
Sidmouth, and W. j- N. from islet 7. 
6 1 and 7 are two bare sandy islets, situated at the north 
ends of reefs extending in a N.N.W. direction ; the reef off 
the islet 6^ is four miles and a half in length, and that off 
7 is two miles and a half long : 6 -I- is in latitude 13® 23' 20', 
longitude 143° 39' 30"; w latitude 13° 21' 20", and lon- 
gitude 143° 36' 10". 
8 and 9 are two low, woody islets of about a mile and a 
quarter in diameter. Some shoal marks on the water were 
observed opposite these islands, but their existence was not 
ascertained. Both the islets are surrounded by coral reefs, 
of small extent. 
NIGHT ISLAND, its north end in latitude 13° 13' 8", 
and longitude 143° 28' 40", is a low woody island, two
