In the chart of the Duffs track in the Pacific Ocean, the countries included in that portion of the globe are divided into Greater Australia and Lesser Australia, the former including New Holland. These titles are explained at p. 88 of the preface as follows : — On the general chart that describes Gaptam Wilson's track, those countries of the Pacific Ocean, which lie withiii or southward of the tropics, are comprehended under the general name of Australia, after the example of foreign geographers.
