said by Horsburgh (vol. ii. p. 504) to be lined by a dan- 
gerous reef, projecting several miles from the northern 
shore ; not coloured. 
Islands neab Timor. — The account of the following 
islands is taken from Captain D. Kolff’s Voyage in 1825, 
translated by Mr. W. Earl from the Dutch. — Lette has 
‘ reefs extending along shore at the distance of half a mile 
from the land.’- — Moa has reefs on the S.W. part. — LaJcor 
has a reef lining its shore ; these islands are coloured red. 
— Still more eastward, Luan, differently from the last- 
mentioned islands, has an extensive reef ; it is steep out- 
side, and within there is a depth of 12 feet ; from these 
facts it is impossible to decide to which class this island 
belongs. — Kissa, off the point of Timor, has its ‘ shore 
fronted by a reef, steep too on the outer side, over which 
small proahs can go at the time of high water ; ’ coloured 
red. — Timor : most of the points, and some considerable 
spaces of the northern shore, are seen in Freycinet’s chart 
to be fringed by coral-reefs ; and mention is made of them 
in the accompanying Hydrog. Memoir ; coloured red.— 
Savu, S.W. of Timor, appears in blinders’ chart to be 
fringed ; but I have not coloured it, as I do not know that 
the reefs are of coral. — Sandalwood Island has, according 
to Horsburgh (vol. ii. p. 607), a reef on its southern shore, 
four miles distant from the land ; as the neighbouring sea 
is deep, and generally bold, this probably is a barrier-reef, 
but I have not ventured to colour it. 
N.W. Coast of Australia. — It appears, in Captain 
King’s Sailing Directions (Narrative of Survey, vol. ii. 
pp. 325 to 369), that there are many extensive coral-reefs 
skirting, often at considerable distances, the N.W. shores 
and encompassing the small adjoining islets. Deep water 
in no instance is represented in the charts between these 
reefs and the land ; and, therefore, they probably belong 
to the fringing class. But as they extend far into the sea,
