Having laden myself with all the specimens of plants and rocks, which I had the means of carrying, I returned on board the Alceste. At day-light the following morning, I again visited the land, and directed my researches to a small island separated from Hong-kong by a channel not more than a hundred yards wide. It afforded me very few plants except the Polypodium trichotomum, but it presented several geological facts of much interest.
