The island could never have been Populour. It is about 50 æquare miles in extent, and today_is inhabited by only 300 natives and 2, whits men. Its soil is very barren; there are no streams, and the only water is obtained from volcanic cratere or from sparse spring on the bach. The vegetation is poor and there-are-no-native-animals, since the small grey rats were caught and used as currency by the natives.
