page 206 note 2 Our positions were determined by compass bearings from the shore, and have no pretensions to precise accuracy. The section A–B and the south-eastern half of the section E–F are probably correct; but in the north-western half of the section E–F the angles of intersection were somewhat acute, and the positions of the soundings are therefore not so accurately fixed.
