Chart 1508, based on surveys between 1875 and 1894 is entitled: _Anchorages in New Hebrides Islands:-Port Resolution. Lisburn anchorage. Lenakel (Sangalie) anchorage. Walurigi anchorage. Dundui anchorage. South-west bay. Wei sisi bay. Steep Cliff bay. Cliff bay and Barree bay. Betrara anchorage._ Various scales and authorities. 20 x 27 inches. With large corrections to August 1906 and small corractions to November 1906. I hope this may be of some help. The Librarian of the British Hydrographic Office based in Taunton in Somerset, may be able to assist you further in identifying the particular chart you referring to.
