AUSTRALIA.—Coral Sea.—Outer Route.

Reef Eastward of Malay Reef.

INFORMATION has been received from Mr. Cotter, commanding the British steam-vessel "Abington," of the existence of a coral reef lying about eighteen miles E. ½ S. from Malay Reef, westward of the Outer Route to Torres Strait.

This reef (Abington Reef) was passed by the "Abington" at 5 p.m. on the 29th April, 1885, at the distance of half a mile. It appeared to extend about one mile in a north-west and south-east direction, and the sea broke slightly on its south-western edge.

Position by observations, lat. 18° 2′ S., long. 149° 37′ E.

The bearing is magnetic. Variation 7¾° easterly in 1885.

By command of their Lordships.
