which passes through the cave. Others will probably yet be discovered in the Western Mountains. _Denbigh_--a township in the parish of that name, and county of Somerset, on the Lake River, about 80 miles from Hobart. _D'Entrecasteaux_--the name of the channel between the main land and Bruni Island, so called after the French admiral who first sailed through it. A small river of the same name flows into Recherche Bay. On the western side of the entrance of the channel is the reef on which the _Acteon_ was wrecked, in 1822. _Derwent_--a river which rises at Lake St. Clair, in the western mountains, and flows through the county of Buckingham, which is well watered by it and its numerous tributaries. The land on the banks of the Derwent is fertile, with occasional tracts well adapted for grazing and pastoral purposes. In the upper Derwent there is a fall of some magnificence, and the scenery on the banks of the river is various and beautiful. The Derwent receives in its course the waters of the Dee, (flowing from Lake Esk) Clyde, Jones, Ouse, Styx, Plenty, and Thames. From its source to Hobart it is about 70 miles long, and to its entrance at Storm Bay 85 miles. _Devon_--a northern county. _Douglass_--a river in Glamorgan, on the eastern coast. Excellent coal is procured in its neighborhood. _Dulcott_--a township in the parish of Forbes, and county of Monmouth, about 60 miles from Hobart. _Eastbourne_--a township in the parish of Eastbourne, and county of Cornwall, near the South Esk. _East Grinstead_--a township in Somerset, about 80 miles from Hobart. _Ebrington_--a township in Cumberland. _Elderslie_--a village near the Jordan, in the parish of Wallace and county of Monmouth, about 40 miles from Hobart. _Eldon_--a range of hills on the western side of the island, southward of the river Macintosh. _Emu Bay_--a harbor on the northern coast, about 45 miles west of the Tamar heads. The Van Diemen's Land Company has an establishment at Emu Bay, and there is also a police and post station and an inn. The road to Circular Head passes by the bay. The country here abounds with timber, of which large quantities are exported. A stream called the Emu falls into the bay. _Enfield_--a township in the parish of Staffa and county of Monmouth, about 20 miles from Hobart. _Esperance_--a harbor on the south-eastern coast, into which falls a river of the same name. _Evandale_--a town in the parish of that
