La terre est aride, bordee de falaises rougeatres; on y voit peu de sable comparativement aux terres plus au sud."* (*Footnote.

De Freycinet page 181.) We sought in vain for the resemblance to the Pouce, but as all the hills were flat-topped of course they were similar to the Table Land of the Cape of Good Hope, but probably inferior to it in point of height.
This range I called after Captain Moresby, R.N.

C.B., in grateful recognition of the prompt assistance rendered by him to the wants and repairs of our vessel, during her late visit to Mauritius.

The summit in the centre was called Mount Fairfax; the group of hills at the north end were named Menai Hills, and the three at the south end of the range were distinguished by the name of Wizard Hills; Mount Fairfax is in latitude 28 degrees 45 minutes 20 seconds, longitude 114 degrees 38 minutes 45 seconds.

The shore in front of these hills is sandy and there was an appearance of two openings in the beach that were probably the outlets of mountain-streams.
