Abstract
WITH regard to the villages and dwellings. So thickly is the coast of Astrolabe Gulf covered with vegetation that no houses are visible to anyone on shipboard, the only signs of habitation being perhaps columns of smoke. If, however, more careful observation be made with a telescope, separate groups of cocoa nut palms will be noticed.
