Char?e? ?!y of phnta (??'?ZZ,?,) that ? ? prominent rank in the botany of this counWy. The strait, in which the tide was rnnnin? at the rate of six or seven knots, was not more than one hundred and fifty yards wide; but/n one part it was con- fraeted to a much narrower compass, by ?, bed af �rocim that nearly extended across the strait, and which must originally have cc?,nunicated with the opposite shore. �We landed under the ttat-tOpl? b.m, at the south end of Greville Island, amon? the man- grovea which skirt the shore, and. walked a few hundred yards round the point, to examine the course of the strait; but the way was so ruled, and we had so little time to spare, that we soon re-embarked, and returned int(? Half-way Bay. �The ?eological. character of the island is a, red- coloured, coarse-gran-l?r, siliceous sandston.e, disposed in, horizontal, strata, and, intersected by ?[eins. of cryst?_ili?.ed quartz. The surface is co- vered by a shallow, reddish-coloured soil? pro- ducing a variety of shrubs ?d plants. After this. we cwss? the. r/ver, a?l examined o,g,,,zed by Goog|�
