APPENDIX. 
A. BRUNSWICK BAY is at the back of these islands, and 
• extends from Cape Brewster, in latitude 15° 6' 10'^ and 
West longitude 124° 55' 5", which terminates. Port Nelson, to 
oast, Adieu. It is an extensive bay or sound, and is about 
twenty miles in extent, with good anchorage all over it. 
The coast is here very much indented by rivers and bays ; 
among which may be particularized Prince Regent’s River, 
Hanover Bay, and Port George the Fourth. 
PRINCE REGENT’S RIVER is, without exception, the 
most remarkable feature of the North-West Coast. In 
general the inlets of this coast form extensive ports at their 
entrance; and, when they begin to assume the character of 
a river, their course becomes tortuous, and very irregular ; 
of which there cannot be a better instance than the neigh- 
bouring river, Roe’s River. Prince Regent’s River trends 
into the interior in a S.E.b.E. direction for fifty-four miles, 
with scarcely a point to intercept the view, after being 
thirteen miles within it. The entrance is formed by Cape 
Wellington on the east, and High Bluff on the west, a width 
of eight miles, but is so much contracted by islands, that, 
in hauling round Cape Wellington, the width is suddenly 
reduced to little more than a mile : at the branching off of 
Rothsay Water, it is little more than half a mile, and also 
the same width at the entrance of St. George’s Basin. In 
this space, however, it is in some parts a little wider, but in 
no part between projecting points is it more than one mile 
and a quarter. For the first nine miles the stream is nar- 
rowed b^f islands ; beyond this, its boundaries are formed 
by the natural banks of the river. On the eastern side, 
within Cape Wellington, is a deep bay, but of shoal and 
rocky appearance. At six miles farther on are two inlets, 
Rothsay and Munster Waters, near which the tide
