HYDROGRAPHICAL MEMO: No. 52.

JAPAN.

NAGASAKI HARBOUR.-The Leander reports that a large flat stone, with 6 feet of water on it at L.W.S. lies S. by E. (mag.) 56 yards from the Pear-shapel Buoy off the Dry Dock. Shoal water extends considerably to the Northward of a line between Pear-shaped Buoy and Post. Lines 6 and 7 of the China Sea Directory Vol. IV. page 507, are incorrect, as it would be unsafe for a Ship of over 280 feet in length to lay at the Mooring Buoy.

The Mooring Buoy lies S. 72 E. 317 yards from the centre of the Caisson, and the Pear-shaped Buoy S. 43° W. 115 yards from the Mooring Buoy.

Chart No. 2415.

To the Commodore and the respective Captains, Commanders, and
