THE following Notices to Mariners, received from the Hydrographer to the Admiralty, London, are published for general information.

H. A. ATKINSON.

PACIFIC OCEAN.—SOUTH-WESTERN PART.

THE following information relating to New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands, and the New Hebrides, is derived from reports received from officers of Her Majesty’s ships employed upon the Australian Station, from notices published by the French Government, and other official sources, 1879–83.

All bearings are magnetic. Variations in 1883: Isle of Pines, 10° easterly; Santa Cruz Islands, 9° easterly.

New Caledonia.

Isle of Pines: Kuto Reef.—An iron beacon, surmounted by a ball and painted black, has been placed upon the north point of Kuto Reef.

Nékété Passage.—The reef upon the south-east side of this passage has extended. A depth of 32 feet was found with Nani Island bearing S. 31° W.

Kuaua Bay.—A detached rock, over which there is a depth of 9 feet, lies in the eastern part of Kuaua Bay, N. 18° E., distant 6½ cables from the extremity of the eastern entrance point of the harbour, and three-quarters of a cable N.N.E. of a similar rock already charted.

Toveru Island: Coral Bank.—A coral bank lies W. by S., distant 6 cables from the north point of Toveru Island. This bank is three-quarters of a cable long north and south, and has a depth of 2 fathoms over it, with 4½ fathoms close around, deepening suddenly to 11 fathoms.

Monéo River.—A red beacon has been placed on the shoal off Monéo River, with the west extreme of Karu Isle bearing N. 12° E., and the entrance to Monéo River S. 22° W.

Tuo Bay.—A red beacon has been placed upon the rock awash, situated E. by S., distant 4 cables from the north-west point of the bay.

The shoal lying N. 41° W., distant 4⅔ cables from the above-mentioned beacon, has been marked by a red beacon, erected in 3 feet at low water.

Four small buoys have been moored upon the most dangerous of the coral heads in the mouth of the bay and in the anchorage, and are as follows:—

1. A black buoy, in 2 fathoms, N. 50° W., distant 1 cable from the white beacon. There is a safe passage between the buoy and the beacon.

2. A red buoy, in 1½ fathoms, S. 24° E., distant 2 cables from the white beacon. One-third of a cable west of the buoy there is a depth of 2 fathoms, coral bottom.

3. A black buoy, in 2 fathoms, S. 70° W., distant 1 cable from the inner red beacon.

4. A red buoy, marking the position of several coral heads having a depth of 10 feet over them, lies S. 40° E., distant 2⅓ cables from the inner beacon.

NOTE.—There are numerous dangers westward of the black buoys and eastward of the red buoys. The beacons are permanent structures, but the buoys must be considered temporary only.

Charpentiers Rocks.—These rocks, over which there is a depth of 3 feet at low water, have been marked by a red beacon placed upon one of the western heads, with the west point of Ienga Island bearing N. 26° E., and the east extreme of Iehgabate N. 54° W,
