Ten miles N. 26 �from Red Island, and S. 710 W. from Freycinet*s Island, is a dr? nnd-bank surrounded by a reef.

CAMDI?N BAY is formed between Byam Martin's Island and Pratt's Islands, and extends to the eastward to Roger's Strait ? it is twelve miles deep and sight wide. HeFe the tide rose and fell thirty-seven feet and a half? the age being nineteen days. High water took place thirteen minutes after the' moon's transit. Between Camden Bay and Point Swan, a distance of ninety miles, the main land falls' baok, and forms a very oonsiderable opening fronted by a multitude of islands, islets, and reefs, into whioh, from our loss of anehors, we we m not ttble to penetrate. From Camden Bay the islands, for the aoast seemed too irregular to be tho main-land, extend in a range in a south direction for more than f?fty- fjvqe miles, to where them appeared to be a deep opening, or strait, from three to five miles wide. An irregular line of coast then appeared to extend for seven leagues to ?e ?q,W., and ?tfterw?rds to the westward for five or six leagues.
