Reading edition

“Neither the chart in Ulloa, nor any of the Spanish charts lately in use, show the name of N.S. del Socorro to any island near the coast hereabouts. The Spanish Atlas of 1798, places an island very near the coast, in 44° 50′ S. latitude, which in shape and situation answers nearly to Narborough’s description of the island, to which he gave his own name.”—(Burney, vol. iii. p. 360. Note.)
