The northern portion of the island is extremely narrow, and beyond the northern point lie three or four islets in the channel within the reef. According to the maps hitherto published this would be incorrect; even in the latest by Friedrichsen, founded on data supplied by a naturalist named Kubary, its breadth at the line passing through Aibukit (see Map I.) is made at least three times as great as in mine, constructed on triangular measurements. I found that at this point the width from reef to reef-from east to west-was at most 5 to 6 geographical miles, while Friedrichsen gives it as about 20. The island enclosed by the REEF OF BABELTHUAP. reef is naturally much narrower; starting from Roll channels at most twenty minutes to go across the ridge of the and frethe east coast. The narrowest part is a little farthe. on the south; according to my measurements the island hems cut most 3,700 feet wide. In this place, too, Friedrichsen giveW a island a breadth of some miles. Close below Aibukit to tb south, the island suddenly widens, without, however, anywhere reaching the considerable width of fourteen to fifteen miles attributed to it by Fredrichsen; I am convinced that even at the widest part it is at most from seven to eight miles across. The reef which runs round the whole of the narrow island exhibits the following remarkable peculiarities of structure. At the northern point and on the west it is at a considerable distance from the land; at the latitude of my house (7 38' N.) it was from four to five miles from a small hill on which I had set up my theodolite. Between the inner reefs lying close to the shore and the exterior reef is a channel of from five to six thousand feet in average width, and from thirty to forty-five fathoms deep.
