WELLBANK'S NAUTICAL ALMANAC ANE> GOASTERS GUIDE, , has; now entered on its twenty-sixth year of publication, and the Editor has refrained from going to press until the latest moment possible, in order that this most important work may contain every addition and alteration up to the end of the year 1885. The Editor desires to thank Captain Hixson, R.N., the President of the Marine Board, as well as the various officials of the neighbouring colonies, for their kind •courtesy in enabling him to carry out a matter so important to the shipping interest of the colonies generally. Many important alterations have been made in the sailing directions of the principal ports and harbours of Fiji, and the Editor feels pleasure in stating that these directions are now perfect in every respect. The Editor would still feel thankful for any reliable information furnished to him, as he is anxious to make the " Coasters Guide " a sine qua non to all shipmasters. JOHN EEDY.
