A. usual, and for having a range of cliffs to the southward of 
^ct. ni. point ; with a solitary tree near its extremity, hence the 
N, Coast, ig^nd is rocky towards De Courcy Head, which is a cliffy 
projection in latitude 1 1° 17' 30" ; thence the shore continues 
rocky to Cape Cockburn, a low rocky point, with a conspi- 
cuous tree at its extremity. The point is wooded to within 
a short distance of the sea, as is generally the case with the 
shores of this coast. Cape Cockburn is in latitude 11° 18', 
and longitude 132° 53' 5". 
MOUNTNORRIS BAY extends between Cape Cock- 
burn and Cape Croker, it is twenty-eight miles wide, and 
twenty-three deep. It contains several islands, and is also 
fronted by a group, of which New Year’s Island, the lati- 
tude of whose centre is 10° 55', and longitude 133° 0' 36", 
is the outermost ; the others are named Oxley, Lawson, 
M‘Cluer, Grant, Templer, and Cowlard. They are straggling, 
and have wide and apparently deep channels between them* 
Between New Year’s and M‘Cluer’s Islands, the channel is 
nearly eight miles wide and eighteen and nineteen fathoms 
deep. A reef extends off the north-west end of the latter 
island for nearly three miles, and the ground is rocky and 
shoal for some distance off the north-east end of Oxley’s. 
Island. Grant’s Island is higher than the others, wLich are 
merely small woody islets, the centre is in 11° 10'. 
At the north-east end of Mountnorris Bay is Malay 
Bay, which is four miles wide and six deep ; it affords good 
anchorage in four and five fathoms in the centre : as it of- 
fered no other inducement, we did not land upon any part 
of it. Between Valentia Island and Point Annesley, the 
channel is more than a mile wide and four fathoms deep. 
Valentia Island has a reef off its north point, and an- 
other off its south-east point, each about a mile in extent.
