Note. Many places have more than one name. Normally, the main entry is the name as given in the text, with cross references from variant forms or alternative names. When, however, the text gives Cook's transcription of a native name (e.g., Annamocka), and Beaglehole provides a more correct version (Nomuka), the main entry is under Beaglehole's corrected version with cross-references from all other versions. Names given by a previous navigator, which Cook sometimes uses (in this case, Rotterdam) are also indexed. Sometimes it is also desirable to index and cross-reference a modern name when different.
In indicating regions, Cook's appellations are used for the eastern coast of Australia (New South Wales = NSW), the Hawaiian Islands (Sandwich Islands), and Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land).
