NOTICES TO MARINERS.

No. 9 of 1872.
Customs Department (Marine Branch),
Wellington, 21st May, 1872.

THE following Notices to Mariners, received from
the Harbour Authorities of South Australia and
Queensland, are published for general information.

JULIUS VOGEL.

DETERMINATION OF LONGITUDE OF ADELAIDE.
MASTERS of vessels, and others, are hereby informed,
that the Hydrographer to the Admiralty has caused
the whole of the positions, as determined by the coast
survey of this Province, to be shifted one and three-
quarter miles (1\u00bc) to the westward, thus placing
Snapper Point, Port Adelaide, in longitude 138° 31′
E., instead of 138° 32′ 42″ E.
All Admiralty Charts of the Province, hitherto
disseminated, will be affected thereby.

R. H. FERGUSON,
President of the Marine Board of South Australia.
Marine Board Offices, Port Adelaide,
South Australia, 12th April, 1872.

UPPER AND EAGLE FARM FLATS, BRISBANE RIVER.
THE cutting through the Upper Flats being completed
to a width of 100 feet, and that through the Eagle
Farm Flats to a width of 200 feet, lights will, from
and after this date, be exhibited between sunset and
sunrise, from the leading beacons; those for the
Upper Flats, from the beacons on the shoal above
Parker Island, and below the cutting; and those for
the Eagle Farm Flats, from the beacons on the North
shore below the Magazine.
The lights for each cutting consist of a red and a
white light—the red light being in each case the one
nearer to the channel. The lights in line lead through
the centre of the cuttings.
Vessels, to avoid passing over and injuring the side
of the cutting, are to enter and leave the upper end
of the channel through the Upper Flats, as close to
the south shore as practicable.
The buoy painted red, and formerly placed on the
upper side of the Eagle Farm Flats, is now painted
black, and placed on the lower side of the cutting.
In the river, below Brisbane, there is now not less
than 9 feet at low water springs.

G. P. HEATH, Commander, R.N.,
Portmaster.
Department of Ports and Harbours,
Brisbane, 17th April, 1872.
