SAILING DIRECTIONS. 373 sometimes rocky bays, as far as Cape Burney. The coast is A. moderately high, and, in the interior, some hills of an un- 8eez. V. usual height for this part of the coast are seen. MovsT W. Coast. NATOnALISTZ i8 in latitude 28 �, and between the la- titudes 28 � and 28 �, is Mo?.snY's FLAT-TOPPeD RA.?Og. It iS terminated at the north end by three hills, called MzxAx HxLLs; and at the southern end, by the Wxz? aD HXLLS. MotraT F? mr? x is in latitude 28 � 30", and longitude 114 � 45". The coast in front of this range is of pleasing and verdant appearance; two or three small openings in the sandy beach, with an evident separation in' the hills behind, particularly one in latitude 28 �, bore indications of rivulets; and the smokes of natives' fires, and the more wooded character of the coast, shewed that the country was evidently more fertile and produo. five than au?r other part between Cape Leeuwin and the North-west Cape. The boattom at from ten to twelve miles off, is from twenty to twenty-five fathoms deep, and composed of a fine sand, of a dtrk gray.colour. CAPE BURNEY is in latitude 28 �: four miles to the southward is a reef, apparently de?ched from the ., shore. * HOUTMAN'S ABROHLOS. The old Dutch charts give a very considerable extent to this reef; Van Keulen makes it cover a space of sea, forty-seven m. ales long, and twenty- five broad., We only saw the islands at the south end, with three detached reefs between them and the shore; one of which (the southernmost) may probably be the TvaTx. s Dow. The islands lie W: 4 �true, forty-one miles from Cape Burney, but the channel (OzzLv?sx (?8A?NZL) be"* tweeU the shore and the reefs, is not more than twcutyosi?
