- 1890 November, Bassett-Smith, P. W., “Report on the Corals from the Tizard and Macclesfield Banks, China Sea”, in The Annals and Magazine of Natural History‎, number 35, OCLC 780054897, page 356:
  In section C the slope of the plateau continues gradual to a depth of 30 fathoms, and in this respect is similar to the Macclesfield Bank.
  The Macclesfield Bank (Pl. XIV.) is situated 300 miles to the north of the Tizard ; it is 76 miles in length and 36 broad. — This bank is entirely submerged; the shallowest portion of the rim is 9 fathoms beneath the surface, and inside the bank the depth is from 40 to 50 fathoms.[...]
  It will be seen from the subjoined tabular list that 129 species of Madrepore corals (Hydrocorallines and Alcyonarians are not here included) have been determined from the Tizard and Macclesfield Banks; of this number 99 species are from the Tizard and 26 from the Macclesfield Bank, whilst 4 only are common to both.

  The ownership of the Pratas Reef and the Macclesfield Bank, both situated closer to China than either Vietnam or the Philippines and smaller than the other two groups, has not been contested; they are Chinese, although with respect to the Macclesfield Bank, it is questionable how to own what lies underwater.[...]The Macclesfield Bank (Chungsha ch’ün-tao) consists of 24 shoals, 3 reefs and 2 banks, all of which are under water.

  Moscow’s growing relationship with India and its military occupation of Afghanistan proceeded as though Communist China did not exist. The USSR has settled into military bases in Southeast Asia, and its navy uses the Macclesfield Bank as a mid-sea anchorage, despite Communist China’s complaints.
- 2022 January 18, Muzliza Mustafa, “Malaysian FM sees shift in China’s justification of sweeping South China Sea claims”, in Radio Free Asia‎, archived from the original on 18 January 2022:
  The Zhongsha Qundao, or Macclesfield Bank area, is actually entirely underwater, and not an archipelago, experts say.
