Tinakula Island (Tamami Island) (10°24'S., 165°47'E.) lies 15 miles N of Cape Trevanion. The island is a volcanic cone, with its lower part covered with vegetation and its upper part bare. The volcano is active from time to time. Forrest Reef (10°15'S., 165°47'E.) was reported (1899) to lie about 7 or 8 miles N of Tinakula Island, but its position is doubtful. A bank, 400m in length, running in an E/W directions, with a depth of 82m over it was reported in the same position (1900). Less water may actual exist in this vicinity. The Reef Islands
