Zwarte-Kop, in Southern Africa, is situated in Long. 26° 53', E. Lat. 33° 56'. S. and 425 miles east from the Cape of Good Hope. It lies between Capes Woody and Recife, which are 33½ miles apart; but it is only in the west and north-east parts of the bay that ships may anchor and find shelter. The anchorage of Port Elizabeth on the west side is perfectly secure for six months in the year, during the prevalence of the north-east winds. The bay is much frequented by black whales and seals. There is a lighthouse on Cape Recife.
