NOTICE.
One of the editions of the Chart of Port Phillip, made by Captain Hobson, of H.M.S. Rattlesnake, and the first edition of the Chart published by Captain Stokes, of H.M.S. Beagle, containing a serious misprint in the bearing laid down, as the course, for vessels entering the Port Phillip Heads, Masters of vessels should be very careful in examining their Charts, and altering, should they give the bearing of north-east by east (N.E. by E.) Such a course must inevitably carry vessels pursuing it from the outside, directly upon the point Lonsdale Reef.
The proper course for entering the Port Phillip Heads is north-east by north, (N.E. by N.)
