In order to trace the north-weft coaft of Ame- rica, upon the chart of the Great Boreal Ocean, with which M. De La Peroufe is fumiflied, it has been a rule to regulate the geographical po- fitions given by the Spaniards, by combining them with thofe of captain Cook, which have ferved to rc6lify the former in thofe parts not within reach of bcinic vifited, and of which the Soa- niards had but a tranfient view. To the chart of the Great Equatorial Ocean are added par- ticular charts of certain portions of coafts, and plans of harbours and bays, different, in many refpe61:s, from thofe which have been given, for the fame parts, in the relation of captain Cook's third voyage. M. De Peroufe may have an opportunity of afcertaining which of thefe plans are drawn in the mofh accurate manner. There is no certainty yet, whether that portion of America, which extends itfclf in a projecting point towards the fouth-weft, be an ifland, or a peninfula.
