The coasts of the Little Belt (Lille Belt), the Great Belt (Store Belt) and the Baltic (Östersöen), as also of the Sound (Öresund), limited to the North by a line from Gilbjerg Hoved to Kullen, and to the East by the meridian of Fal- sterbo. 4. The Swedish coast between Falsterbo and Carlskrona, and the coasts of the Isle of Bornliolm. Referring to tlie symbols of the Chart for its right apprehen- sion, the reader is invited to make a voyage round the coasts; it must, however, first be understood, that tlie Cliart shows tlie spot where each casualty occurred, and that tlie dots have been put right off tlie very place of tlie coast, wliere the strandings have actually occurred; only, that tlie dots representing the total losses have been placed nearest to the coast, and the dots representing the strandings, which liave not resulted in a total loss, farthest from tlie same. The strandings which have occurred iw the Öresund, limited to the North by a line Gilbjerg Hoved-Kullen, and to tlie South by a line from Falsterbo to the southward of the Isle of Amack (Amager) make an exception, as it has been necessary to place some of the dots on the land on account of the limited space. As far as possible, however, the total losses have also in this fairway been placed at tlie very spot where the strandings did actually take place. Beginning at the west coast of Jutland, it will at once be observed, that tliis coast is in its whole lengtli fringed witli an un- broken chain of dots; these are, however, at some places sprinkled, at others thickly crowded, but upon the whole tliis ironbound coast gives an awful impression of the heavy tribute imposed upon shipping. Tlie greatest number of dots are to be found around tlie en- trance to tlie Limfjord, from which place they tliin away to tlie southward as well as to tlie northward. The long and dangerous Horns Reef (Rev), stretching out from the coast of Jutland, is comparatively
