Ferguson notes erroneously that

68 this work contains accounts of all seven voyages made by the author, but in fact the entire work (apart from a brief note in the Preface) concerns his sixth and most important voyage, one of the rarest and least-known voyages to the Pacific. Departing from Mazatlan, Mexico, Michelena y Rojas crossed the Pacific in the years , spending some 33 days exploring the Hawaiian Islands (to which he devotes 4 chapters, including portraits of Kamehameha III and Governor John Adams). From there he sailed to Tahiti, Rotuma and via Norfolk Island to Australia (with a fine plan of Sydney in 1840, a plate of part of the Botanic Gardens and another of the aboriginal inhabitants). He continued to Vanikoro (with an account of Dillon s discovery of the fate of La Perouse), Guam in the Marianas, the Caroline Islands, Philippines, Macao, and Singapore. His route is traced on the folding map and the author includes an account of the Papuans. Some doubt has been cast by Saul H. Riesenberg on the authenticity of the narrative but it seems clear that it is an amalgam of personal observation and information from other contemporary sources. Michelena also published (1837) the official account of the Venezuelan exploring expedition up the Orinoco and down the Amazon Rivers, and later wrote a history of South American exploration published in #34806 A$12,500.00
