Above one hundred and fifty islands were reckoned up by the natives, who made use of bits of leaves to ascertain their number; and Mr.Anderson, with his usual diligence, procured all their names.

Fifteen of them are said to be high or hilly, and thirty-five of them large.

Concerning the size of the thirty-two which were unexplored, it can only be mentioned, that they must be larger than Annamooka, which was ranked amongst the smaller isles.

Several, indeed, of those which belong to this latter denomination, are mere spots, without inhabitants.

Captain Cook had not the least doubt but that Prince William's Islands, discovered and so named by Tasman, were comprehended in the list furnished by the natives.
