difcuffed in page 11: for by the late obfervations, it ought to be placed (at least) in 87° 5′ longitude, instead of 87° 1′ 30′′. A reference to the map will best explain the refpective pofitions of the principal mouths of the Mahanuddy, and other rivers, between the black pagoda and Kannaka. It is proper to obferve, that the coaft was not traced home to the black pagoda; fo that the exact pofition of Point Palmiras, is yet a defideratum. Capt. Ritchie was informed, when at the fouthmoft opening of the Mahanuddy, that the black pagoda, was very near, on the south-west. It was, however, out of fight; but this may be accounted for, by the form of the coaft, which projects in a very large turve, and might intercept the view of the pagoda, from a perfon clofe under the fhore, as Mr. Ritchie was: although the pagoda might not be many miles off. The fouthmoft mouth or opening of the Mahanuddy is in lat. 19° 54' and is fuppofed to be about 19 miles to the eastward of Jagarnaut pagoda. The object of this examination, was, to enable the Government of Bengal, to fix on a proper spot for a light house, for the direction of fhips round Point Palmiras, and into Balafore road. Capt. Ritchie gave the preference to the point itself (named Mayaparah by the natives) but no light-house is yet erected. I believe the matter refted with the merchants of Calcutta. The reef extends near 10 miles to the ENE of Point Palmiras, in the new chart. There was too much furf on the coast to allow his boat to land, fo that he could not learn the names of the few villages that are difperfed along the coaft. He is pretty certain that no large river falls in between Point Palmiras and the falfe point. INDE X то тнь M ME M OIR.
