Ngalignagho Island (Nalignago Islet) (8°25'S., 159°55'E.) is located 5 miles N of Mahighe Island. This small sand cay is in the center of a coral reef surrounded by shoals. Dangerous projections extend out N and S of the reef. Irregular depths are in evidence between the cay and the coast W of it. More shoals than charted may exist. Ngalignagho Island is the more distant to seaward of the dangers found in the vicinity of the entrance to Tanabuli Bay. In the approach to this bay, there are a group of islands lying between Boko Point (8°27'S., 159°52'E.) and Martin Point (8°24'S., 159°50'E.); these islands, known as Jagi, Kapika, Kolare, and Siasigara, lie close off the coast. Passages exist between these islands, but they have not been examined.
