Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Island of Otaheite

According to the Survey taken by Cap. Cook 1769.

Corrected by his later
Astronomical Observations.

N.B. The Names of the Places near the Sea and other Improvements by Wm. Wilson. Where B. is put to a Name, that Place is the separation of the districts

The little black squares which are put near the Shores of Otaheite are intended to convey an Idea of the manner in which the Houses are scattered around the Island. And to avoid confusion the place where they are is left unmarked with trees though abounding in all the varieties; also unshaded that the width of the low Land might be shown.
