 336 APPENDIX. A; At eleven miles from the entrance, the port is separated into Sect..lV. two inlets, which wind under the base of a dividing range N. West of high, steep, and wooded hills; these run up for five miles Coast. hig!r, when they become mere manrove creeks. There is probably another inlet on the .cut side of Port Warrender which we did not examine, since it appeared to be less con- siderable in size, and important in appearance, than the arm which we had examined. (&YSTAL HSAD is in latitude 14 �, and longitude 125 � 30'. WALMESLY BAY appeared tobe a good port also, but it is open to the eastward. We did not enter it. CAPE VOLTAIRE is the extremity of a promontory, ex- tending for more than. twenty miles into the sea, and sepa- rating the Admiralty Gulf from Montagu Sound. There is a fiat-topped hill near its extremity, in. latitude 14 � 30', and longitude 125 � 12"; and, at three miles more to the southward, a peaked hill; its shores on either side are rocky, and indented by bays. At one part. the width across to Walmesly Bay cannot be more than a mile and a half. The MONTALIVET ISLES, about six leagues from the main, consist of three rocky isl.nds; they are visible for six or seven leagues from the deck: the north-easternmost is in latitude 14 � 40', longitude 125 � 30". MONTAGU SOUND extends from Cape Voltaire to the north end of Bigge's Island, a distance of thirty-one miles, and is from eleven to twenty miles deep. It is fronted by a range of islands; the outer range, Which is. eight miles within the Montaiivet Isles, was called PauDHos ISLAS;
