Freycinet, who, having visited the same points as Peron, and, among others, Timor and the Isle of France, have endeavoured to demonstrate, in a memoir on the growth of lithophyte polypi, considered geologically, that all that has been asserted or believed to the present day, relative to the immense labours which the saxigenous polypi are capable of

he considered the stages which the coral reef passed through before it became an island habitable for man. This description has been so often quoted that it must be familiar to most readers. Subsequently to Kotzebue's voyage, M M. Quoy and Gaimard, who sailed with the expedition of M. Freycinet, paid particular attention to the coral islands and reefs which they had opportunities of examining; and the result of their observations was, that the geological importance of these islands and reefs had

It is far preferable to adopt this channel than to pass to the northward of the Mariana group, which is sometimes done: as I am credibly informed that there is much broken ground * It is somewhat remarkable that in passing to the southward of the island of Assumption, at the distance of four miles and a half, we did not discover the rocks which Captain Freycinet

of Duperrey and Freycinet; and where reduction on account of the hours employed has been necessary, he has introduced a formula similar to that for temperature depending upon the sine of the arc corresponding to the time from noon. Such a formula has also been employed by Carlini* and Hallstr m. The general result to which M.

difference at St. Helena, deduced from Captain Foster's experiments, is confirmed by those of Captain Leutke. At the Isle of France the results of the experiments of Captain Freycinet and Captain Duperrey very nearly accord. At Guam there is indeed a difference in the results between Captain Freycinet and Captain Leutke, but they both indicate an increase of gravity at that place, though differing in degree: it should be noted, however, that Captain Freycinet himself had some doubts about the

tain Freycinet and Captain Duperrey that is quite inexplicable. It should be remarked, however, that Captain Freycinet made only one experiment, and with only one of the pendulums, at that place; and moreover it will be seen that there is a difference of upwards of three minutes and a half in the latitude of the stations; so that it is possible that the local attraction might not be the same at each place.* On a review of the whole, I think it must be conceded that the differences between the

We anchored near the beach on which Freycinet ran the Uranie, after she struck on a rock off Volunteer Point, at the entrance of Berkeley Sound; and from a French boat which came alongside learned that the Magellan, French whaler, had been driven from her anchors during the tremendous storm of January 12-13; that her crew were living on shore under tents, having saved every thing; that there were only a few colonists left at the almost ruined settlement of Port Louis; and

Freycinet was obliged to run l'Uranie ashore, in 1820, after striking on the detached rock off Volunteer Point), and remained there till I had ascertained the state of affairs on shore: for seeing a French flag flying near some tents behind Johnson Cove or harbour, and knowing that, in 1831, the flag of Buenos Ayres was hoisted at a settlement in the sound, it was evident a change of some kind had occurred.

Bennett informs me that the reefs, on an average, extend about a quarter of a mile from the beach; the land is not very steep, and outside the reefs the sea does not become deep very suddenly; coloured red.—Morotoi, I presume, is fringed: Freycinet speaks of the breakers extending along the shore at a little distance from it.

It appears from the survey of Freycinet, that there are banks of this kind in the Caroline Archipelago, and, as is reported, in the Low Archipelago. When we discuss the origin of the different classes of coral formations, we shall see that the submerged state of the whole of some atoll-formed reefs, and of portions of others, generally but not invariably on the leeward side, and the existence of more deeply

This island, therefore, probably consists of a bank of rock, a few feet submerged, with the outer margin

From the sketches, and from the manner in which the margins of these islands are engraved in the atlas of the Voyage of the Coquille, it might have been thought that they were not low; but by a comparison with the remarks of Lutké (vol. ii. p. 107, regarding Bigali) and of Freycinet (Hydrog.

The several islands which form the northern part of the group are volcanic, (with the exception perhaps of Torres, which resembles in form the madreporitic island of Medinilla,) and appear to be without reefs. Mangs, however, is described (by Freycinet, p. 219, Hydrog.) from some Spanish charts, as formed of small islands placed au milieu des nombreux récifs; and as these reefs in the general chart of the group do

In a chart published by Dalrymple, the numerous islands on the western, southern, (Batchian and the Strait of Patientia,) and eastern sides appear fringed by narrow reefs; these reefs, I suppose, are of coral, for it is said in Malte Brun, (vol. xii. p. 156,) sur les côtes (of Batchian) comme dans les

probable, however, that there are two or three species nearly allied, for which reason I have been the more particular in my description. The H. Hepsetus of D'Orbigny* appears to differ from the H. falcatus of Freycinet (with which last Cuvier associates his name of Hepsetus,) in having the lateral line curving upwards rather than downwards, and the caudal fascia as well as the humeral spot more marked. The Salmo falcatus of Bloch is probably distinct from both. * Voy. dans L'Amer. Mérid. Atl
