His deduction is from taking a series of soundings and small itinerant surveys in positions where dredging is required, or has been effected. He is of opinion that the Bay is silting up at or about the rate mentioned by both Commander Stanley, and Sir John Coode, that is to say, at about 3in per annum upon a certain area of the western part of Hobson's Bay, and at about lin per annum in the eastern part. The piera at Williamstown are condemned as silt traps, and their extension is discountenanced.
