The plans I have drawn of the places I have been at were made with all the Care and accuracy that time and Circumstances would admit of.

Thus far I am certain that the Latitude and Longitude of few parts of the World are better settled than these.

In this I was very much assisted by Mr.Green, who let slip no one opportunity for making of Observations for settling the Longitude during the whole Course of the Voyage; and the many Valuable discoveries made by Mr.Banks and Dr.Solander in Natural History, and other things useful to the learned world, cannot fail of contributing very much to the Success of the Voyage.

In justice to the Officers and the whole Crew, I must say they have gone through the fatigues and dangers of the whole Voyage with that cheerfulness and Allertness that will always do Honour to British Seamen, and I have the satisfaction to say that I have not lost one Man by sickness during the whole Voyage.

I hope that the repairs wanting to the Ship will not be so great as to detain us any length of time.
