of the Marquesas islands, about five leagues in circuit, and supposed to be in S. Lat. 10° 25'. W. Long. 138° 50'. It was only seen at nine leagues distance by those who discovered it.

Magdalene's Cave, a cave of Germany, and in Carinthia, 10 miles east of Gortz. It appears like a chasm in a rock, and at the entrance torches are lighted to conduct travellers. It is divided into several apartments, or halls, with a vast number of pillars formed by nature, which give it a beautiful appearance; they being as white as snow, and almost transparent. The bottom is of the same substance, inasmuch that a person may fancy himself to be walking among the ruins of an enchanted castle, surrounded with magnificent pillars, some entire and others broken.
