Place. This was found at Dujky Bay, where it is called Ghotarre.
All the above have come under my infpedtion : whereby it is
manifeft, 'that this fpecies is common to many parts of the South-
Seas-, and, if I am not miftaken, not far different from N° i r,
which is found in the Molucca. IJles -, which, if not the fame,
is a fpecies nearly allied to this -, but in the Molucca one no part of
the. under mandible is white.
