within the latitudes of 69° 32' and 69° 47'. Two 
bold headlands, a little farther towards the south¬ 
west, were named after Mr John Dalton, and 
Mr Peter Ewart, of Manchester; and the ex¬ 
treme headland seen, lying in latitude about 
69° 12' and longitude 24° 25' (?) W., was called 
Cape Barclay, after Dr John Barclay of Edin¬ 
burgh. Between Cape Barclay and Cape Ewart, 
there is an interval of some leagues, wherein I 
could not perceive any land. This inlet was 
named Knighton Bay, in honour of Sir Wil¬ 
liam Knighton, Private Secretary to his Majesty. 
In addition to these islands, capes and inlets, 
some others on this coast likewise received names. 
A bay to the south-west of Cape Brewster was 
named Wallace Bay, and three contiguous 
headlands, Cape Russell, Cape Graham and 
Cape Pillans, after four of the Professors in 
the University of Edinburgh. • 
July 30 th .—Being now nearly two degrees of 
latitude farther south than the lowest parallel in 
which I had ever pursued the whale-fishery to ad¬ 
vantage, and being disappointed in our expecta¬ 
tions of finding whales in this extreme southern 
station, it was mutually agreed between my Fa¬ 
ther, Captain Lloyd, and myself, that w r e should 
proceed, in company, to the northward, and make 
extensive researches for whales in other quarters.
