Tome 2 redige par M.Peron et M.L.Freycinet 1816.

A third volume of this work, under the title of Navigation et Geographie, was published by Capt.
Freycinet in 1815.

It contains a brief and clear account of the proceedings of the expedition; and affords some particulars connected with the physical geography of the places described, which are not to be found in the other volumes.) In order to avoid the interruption which would be occasioned by detail, I shall prefix to the list of specimens in Captain King's and Mr.Brown's collections, a general sketch of the coast from whence they come, deduced, principally, from the large charts,* and from the narratives of Captains Flinders and King, with a summary of the geological information derived from the specimens.

But I have thought it necessary to subjoin a more detailed list of the specimens themselves; on account of the great distance from each other of many of the places where they were found, and of the general interest attached to the productions of a country so very remote, of which the greater part is not likely to be often visited by geologists.

The situation of such of the places mentioned, as are not to be found in the reduced chart annexed to the present publication, will be sufficiently indicated by the names of the adjacent places.
