was discovered in Captain Cook's last voyage, and was so named in honour of Sir Fletcher Norton (Lord Granley), a near relation of Mr afterwards Dr King. It extends as far as N. Lat. 64° 55'. There is no good station for ships, nor even a tolerable harbour in all the sound. Mr King, on his landing here, discerned many spacious valleys, with rivers flowing through them, well wooded, and bounded with hills of a moderate height. One of the rivers towards the north-west seemed to be considerable; and he was inclined to suppose, from its direction, that it discharged itself into the sea from the head of the bay. Some of his people, penetrating beyond this into the country, found the trees to be of a larger size the further they proceeded. E. Long. 197. 13. N. Lat. Norton's Sound, Norway. 64. 31.
