This promontory is the northern head of Shark's Bay.
The land was not seen by us to the South-East, and is laid down, as is indeed the whole of Shark's Bay, from M.De Freycinet's chart, which was drawn from the survey made of it in Commodore Baudin's voyage.
The western coast of BERNIER and DORRE ISLANDS are bold to, and are composed of a high, precipitous cliff, with a level summit.

The only irregularity upon them is a slight elevation on the south end of the latter.

Off the north end of Bernier Island is the small islet called KOK'S.

The channel between Bernier and Dorre is about a mile and a half wide, but is so blocked up by rocks as to be impassable.
DIRK HARTOG'S ISLAND extends from Cape Inscription, in latitude 25 degrees 28 minutes 20 seconds, to 26 degrees 6 minutes; it is here separated from Point Escarpee (Bluff Point) by a strait, which has a shoal communication with Shark's Bay.

Dirk Hartog's Island is high, and of similar appearance to Bernier and Dorre; it is fronted by a line of breakers.
