Ea5 tance give it the appearance of being two small islets; it Coast. is Iow and**like the other islands of its character, may'be seen t'ten miles from' the leck: its latitude i 13 � 45", and longitude 143 �. (See vol. i. p. 379 0 ] is a long narrow coral reef, extending in a N.N.E. di- rectibn; it is thirteen milei inextent, but generally not more than one-third ofamile wide ;.its greatest width is not more than a mile and a half; its south-west end is five miles and ree-quarters north from Pelican Island. In is an extensive coral reef, extending for fifteen miles in N.E.b.N. direction, Parallel with 1, .from which it is 'ee- parated by a channel of from one to two miles Wide. At its' south-west end, where there is an extensive dry sandy key, and some dry rocks, it is two miles wide; but towards its northern end it tapers away to the breads of a quarter of a mile. The south trend of its south-west end lies seven* miles N. 44 �from P!ican Island, and four miles from Island 2 of Claremont Isles. n is another extensive reef, which may possibly he con- nected with In. At its westernmost end, about four miles N.b.E.E, from the west end of In., is a dry sand of small ex tent, It was considered probable that there was a sate passague, between the reefs !. and m. We steered 8o far as to see the termination of the latter, upon which the sea'was breaking, which afforded a proof of its not 5eing connected with th former, which also the dark colour of the water suffciendy indicated.
