HIS EXCELLENCY the Governor-

the following notices connected with the
Marine Survey of the New Zealand
Islands, which have just been received
from Capt. Stokes, late of H. M. S.

inner rock is a wash—the outer, of
which the following bearings shew the
position—has 8 feet on it at low water
spring tides.

33 E. Magnetic—distant 3 2-8 cables.
High Water extreme of Point Dorset
N. 33 E. Magnetic 3 1-5 cables.

Dorset N. 82 E. Magnetic, 3 3-4 cables.
