A. miles wide. The south-easternmost reef that we saw is about 
Sect. \ . three miles long, and lies nearly ten miles S. 55° E. from 
W. Coast, the islands ; it appeared to be covered, but the sea was 
breaking high over it. In passing this part of the- coast. 
Captain Hamelin, who commanded the Naturaliste under 
Commodore Baudin’s orders, must have steered within the 
reefs, as the Geelvink (Vlaming’s ship) did. The reef that 
is laid down upon the chart, in latitude 29° 10' is from Van 
Keulen. We did not see it. (See Horsburgh, vol. i. 
p. 98.) 
From Cape Burney the coast is rather low and sandy ; 
in 29° 16' is a reef; and seven miles more to the south is 
another ; they lie from five to seven miles from the shore. 
In latitude 29° 6' 30", there is a small peaked hillock ; 
and in 29° 17' 50", a small sandy patch upon the land. 
Between latitudes 29° 25' and 29° 55', we did not see the 
coast, having passed it in the night. It is laid down from 
Van Keulen’s chart. Hence to Island Point, which is low 
and rocky, the shore is lined with reefs, extending off shore 
for two to four miles. At the back of this, and at about 
eight miles from the coast, is a rocky range, of three leagues 
in length, on which are Mounts Peron and Lesueur. 
To the south of Island Point, are two bays fronted 
by reefs; the southernmost, JURIEN BAY, has three or 
more small islets in it. The coast to the south of the 
bay is sandy. In latitude 30° 37', are three small rocky 
lumps, very remarkably placed; the middle one is in lati- 
tude 30° 37' 40" : fourteen miles to the south of these are 
two others, the north-easternmost is in latitude 30° 51' 50", 
they are very conspicuously placed upon a ridge of bare white 
sand. Hence the coast winds to the S.S.E. for eighty miles 
as far as the entrance of Swan River. The coast is low and
