one of the SW Biscoe Islands, Loubet Coast, was roughly charted by FAE, 1908-10, when the name Pointe Decazes was applied loosely to the SW point of Biscoe Islands, probably after a supporter of FAE (Charcot, 1912, Pl. 1). Decazes Point, vaguely positioned (BA chart 3175, 9.x.1914; [in c. 66°30'S 67°29'W] APC, 1955, p.8; DCS 601 sheet 66 66, 1955). Decazes Pynten (HA chart, 1927). Pointe Decaze [sic] (France. SHM, 1937, p.408). Point Decazes (USHO, 1943, p.149). Islotes Decazes, referring to this island and nearby smaller islands (Argentina. MM, 1956, p.102). Following air photography by FIDASE, 1956-57, and ground survey by FIDS from "Detaille Island" in 1958, the name was accepted for the island.
