tlie Prince of Torres or Hogolcii, are the most un- 

 certain and dubious, and it is very difficult to throw 

 light on their geography. 



Kadu was never in these islands himself; he 

 makes five groups, or islands, follow, always in a 

 direction from Ulea, according to the rising sun, or 

 rather inchning to the south. 



Saugk (K.), Sog (T.), Scheug, or, according to 

 the situation, Shoug (C.)? A low group. 



Buluath (K.), Puluot (C), Poloat (T.) A reef, 

 of which only the island of this name is inhabited. 

 8augk and Buluath still speak the language of Ulea. 



Tuch (K.), Rug (T.) Shoug, or, according to 

 the situation, Scheug (C.)? This is the only high 

 land which Kadu*s information mentions to the 

 east. Tuch has very high mountains, and, accord- 

 ing to Don Luis de Torres, it has a peak. The 

 inhabitants live in constant war with those in the 

 distant islands, (Giep and Vageval). Their lan- 

 guage deviates much from that of Ulea ; Don Luis 

 de Torres calls it a separate one. Kadu had had 

 dealings with the inhabitants of Tuch and Buluath, 

 at Ulea, where they brought tribute, and traded. 



Savonnemusoch, and Nugor, are rich and low 

 groups of islands, which Kadu places at a great 

 distance in the same point of the compass ; each 

 is said to speak a different language. In the name 

 Nugor we may recognize Magor (T.), Magur (C.) 



Toroa, and Fanope, are, according to Kadu, 

 low groups of islands, which are very well known
