Errata.-On page 352, for A. Roger of H. M. S. Blenheim, read A. Royer of H. M. S. Wellesley.
ART. II. Coast of China, &c.: sailing directions derived from nautical observations made by H. B. M.'s squadron in 1840. HEI SHAN, or Black Islands. H. M. ship Wellesley, being in lat. 28° 40′ north, and lon. 121° 57′ east, hauled in to make the Black islands, steering north, and having a depth of 12 fathoms. A point of land, supposed to be one of the Black islands, bore N. W. by W. † W.; shortly afterwards, islands were seen to the northeast, and the ship was kept to the eastward, to pass without them. They were found to consist of a group of 4 or 5 small islands, with several high detached rocks. The northeasternmost of the group, apparently about a mile detached from the others, is a small round rock, shaped like a haycock, with a rock not much above water some distance to the northeast. This group is called the Heishan islands by Dalrymple,
