be all larger than Annamooka; which thofe, from whom
we had our information, ranked amongft the fmaller iiles.
Some, or indeed feveral, of this latter denomination, are
mere fpots, without inhabitants. Sixty-one of thefe iflands
have their proper places and names marked upon our chart
of the Friendly Iflands, and upon the iketch of the harbour of
Tongataboo, to both which I refer the reader. But it mull be
left to future navigators, to introduce into the geography
of this part of the South Pacific Ocean, the exatft fituation
and fize of near a hundred more iflands in this neighbourhood,
which we had not an opportunity to explore;
and whofe exiftence we only learnt from the teftimony of
our friends, as above-mentioned. On their authority, the
following lift of them was made ; and it may ferve as a
ground-work for farther inveftigation.

I have not the leaft doubt, that Prince William’s Iflands,
difcovered, and fo named by Tafman, are included in the
