Abstract
NATURE for May 25 (which has only just reached this part of the world) contains a note respecting the reported disappearance of Aurora Island in the New Hebrides, in that note the small upraised coral island of that name north-east of Tahiti is confounded with Aurora—a high volcanic island—more than 40° to the west of the former. It is scarcely to be wondered at that the mistake should be made when the name of the island is alone given; but when “Aurora Island, one of the New Hebrides group,” is spoken of as being to the “north-eastward” of the well-known island of Tahiti one feels surprised at the misconception.
