From the summit we had a good view of the bay, and were delighted to find large openings in the south-east and south-west corners of it.

The table hill before mentioned, stood on the point between them.

To see the eastern part of it, however, it was necessary to cross to the opposite point, where some talc slate, pieces of which measured four inches in length, was found imbedded in quartz.

The point was called in consequence, Talc Head.
PORT DARWIN.
The other rocks near it were of a fine-grained sandstone: a new feature in the geology of this part of the continent, which afforded us an appropriate opportunity of convincing an old shipmate and friend, that he still lived in our memory; and we accordingly named this sheet of water Port Darwin.

A few small bamboos grew on this head; the other trees were chiefly white gums.
