 360 A. Malua Island is separated from Lewis Island by a strait � Sect. IVo mile wide; it is probably deep. 'N. West Cst. The north*east point of LEWIS 18LAND is a narrow proje-ing tongue of land, terminating in a high rocky lump and to the southward of it, are two high rocky islets of similar appearance. There is also another, but of smaller si oF the south-east pint of Malus Island. In .ccatm of Lewis Island there is a valley, that stretches across to.the opposite sides of the island, forming a bay on either side. To th south of Lewis Island is a group of islands, which, from the circumstance of our communicating with the tires, wes called lTstcounss. lay. Aeon. They are all small. The largest has n remarkable snmmt upon it, in latitude 20 � 50", and longitude 116 � 45": it is from this island that the natives drove us, and would not allow us to !and *. The channel between them and Lewis Island is more than a mile wide, and is seven and eight fathoms deep. BNDERBY ISLAND is separated .from Lewis' Island by n channel one mile and a half wide, apparently clear and free from danger. Its south-west point is Roc*rT the summit of which was found to be in latitude 20 � and longitude 116 �' 5'. To the north is 'ISLam� and further north, and W.N.W. from Malua Island, from which it is separated by a strait two. miles and a imlf wide, is RossM&� Isv.o, which, when vimwed from the N.N.E. or S.S.W., has three hummocks bearing from each other W.b.N. and E.b.S. The centre .hummock is in latitude 20 � 30', and longitude 118 �. In the vicinity of Rosemary and Ooodwyn
