In Dr. Brown’s _Prodromus Floræ Novæ Hollandiæ et Insulæ Van Diemen_, occurs the following under the family of Goodenoviæ: “Genus Scævolæ et Diaspasi propinquum, sed ab iisdem sat distinctum, dixi in memoriam Gulielmi Dampier, navarchi et peregrinatoris celeberrimi, in variis suis itineribus naturæ semper assidui observatoris, nec botanicem negligentis, qui oram occidentalem Novæ Hollandiæ bis visitavit, cujus regionis plantæ aliquæ depictæ in relatione itineris extant, et inter ineditas secum reportatas (quarum plures nunc in Museo Oxoniensi asservantur) _Dampiera incana_ fuit.” Footnote 34: Trachydosaurus rugosus. Family of lizards Scincidæ. Footnote 35: Appendix V. Footnote 36: Given in the Assembly of the Seventeen, on the 7th December, 1619. Footnote 37: Appendix IV. Footnote 38: The western limit of these dangerous shoals, in long. 113° 20´ E., and the south-easternmost patch called Turtle Dove, is in lat. 29° 10´, long. 113° 57´. _Horsburgh_, London, 1838. Footnote 39: _Sic_ in original. The editor does not find this name in the English navy. There is, in all probability, a mistake in the transcript of the word given as Pako. The passage quoted is stated in a note to have occurred in a letter dated March 31st, 1853, addressed to Captain Wipff of the Dutch navy, then commanding the corvette _Sumatra_ off Sydney. Footnote 40: Appendix I and III. Footnote 41: Appendix II. Footnote 42: These papers have not been sent over. Footnote 43: On board of this ship, Mr. Jacob Roggeveen was a passenger, who, a few years later, became celebrated by his voyage round the world, and was afterwards made a Counsel of Justice at Batavia. Footnote 44: The Zeeland ship _Vaderland Getrouw_, sailed from Rammekens on the 6th of January, 1707, arrived on the 5th of May at the Cape, left Table Bay on the 31st of the same month, and came to anchor before Batavia on the 5th of August.—_U. S. Nautical Magazine and Naval Journal_, 1856, No. 4. Footnote 45: The inhabitants of the coast of Solor are specially mentioned as fishermen by Crawfurd, in his “Dictionary of the Indian Islands.” Footnote 46: This is the Island of Flores. In a “List of the principal gold mines obtained by the explorations (curiosidade) of Manoel Godinho de Heredea, Indian cosmographer, resident in Malaca for twenty years and more,” also published with the “Ordenaçōes da India,” Lisbon, 1807, the same story is told, but the Island Ende is there called Ilha do Conde. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES
