    A GENERAL VIEW OF THE RESULTS OF INVESTIGATIONS INTO GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, ANTIQUITIES, AND LITERA- TURE IN THE ISLAND OF JAVA, BY LIEUT*-COL* C. MACKENZIE IN THE YEARS 1811-12-13. Br COL. COLIN MACKENZIE. I. CHARTS, GEOGRAPHICAL AND HYDROGRAPHICAL. In the geographical and hydrographical branches, com- plete registers have been taken of the numerous atlases, plans, charts, and memoirs belonging to the Dutch govern- ment, since its establishment from 1612 till the year 1811. Among these are to be found detailed regular surveys of several of the eastern provinces, on a plan which I have recommended to our government in Java to be gradually carried on at no great expense. This will be the subject of a particular report, which I propose to accompany with a detailed * register of these documents, and of upwards of [blank] charts of different descriptions, supposed to be in dept with the present government. II. MILITARY. Of military plans numerous pieces exist still, though some of them, particularly connected with the views of the late government, are unattainable, and supposed to be lost in the confusion attending the victory and retreat of CORNELIS; those remaining appear in the register. There is reason to think that much of the contents of the depdts at the Bureau de Genre, and that of military movements, were lost at the period referred to, or carried off. * This register was presented to the government at Fort William of the 18th February, 1815.
