My conclusion results from his description of the place he landed at, for he says: "We were now on the inner side of the island, on whose outside is the bluff point: we rode a league from the land, and I presently went on shore, and carried shovels to dig for water, but found none.

There grew here two or three sorts of shrubs, one just like rosemary, and, therefore, I call this Rosemary Island.

It grew here in great plenty, but had no smell...In the sea, we saw some green turtle, a pretty many sharks, and abundance of water-snakes, of several sorts and sizes.

The stones were all of a rusty colour and ponderous."* (*Footnote.

Dampier Octavo 1729 volume 3 page 90.) The rosemary plants were found by us on Enderby Island, and bore a strong resemblance to the figure of one given by Dampier, which he thus describes: Conyza Novae Hollandiae angustis rorismarini foliis: this plant, found at Enderby Island, may naturally be supposed to grow upon the other islands, since they are all similar in character.
