Notice to Mariners No. 31 of 1906.

ERROR IN CHARTED POSITION OF COAST-LINE BETWEEN CAPE KIDNAPPERS AND BLACK HEAD.

Marine Department,

Wellington, N.Z., 9th April, 1906.

WITH reference to Notice to Mariners No. 11 of 1906, dated 9th February, 1906, Captain Bollons, of the Government steamer "Hinemoa," reports that Bare Island lies one mile from the nearest part of the mainland, but that the contour of the coast-line in its vicinity is not accurately laid down. Both Captain Bollons and Captain David, of the s.s. "Corinthic," agree with the previous report in making the bearing between Cape Kidnappers and Bare Island to be S. 1° E.

The Surveyor-General's observations, which were sent to the Hydrographer to the Admiralty in November, 1903, show that the land between Cape Kidnappers and Tukituki River is charted about 1' north of correct position, Cape Kidnappers about one mile N. 20° E., and Bare Island S. 55° W. of correct position. This gives the distance between Cape Kidnappers and Bare Island as 11½ miles, instead of thirteen miles as shown on the Admiralty Chart.

The Surveyor-General's observations also show that the coast-line to the southward, between Black Head and Bare Island, is inaccurately plotted on the Admiralty Chart, Paorui Point being shown 2'3 miles S. 55° W. of the correct position.

Charts, &c., affected.—Admiralty Chart No. 2528. "New Zealand Pilot," seventh edition, Chapter iv, page 161.
