 Smaller islands along the coast of Eap are without 

 either names or inhabitants. 



Eap has a language of its own, which is now 

 spoken only in the following group. 



Ngoli (K.), Ngolog (T.), Ngoly (C.) A small 

 low group, at a short distance from Eap to the 

 south, and on the way to Pelli. It has only three 

 islands, and of these only that after which the 

 group is called is inhabited, and this has not above 

 thirty people. The names Petangaras and Laddo, 

 in Cantova, relate to the other islands of the 

 group, and the name of Laddo is preferred in 

 many of the new charts; for example, Burney's. 



Between Eap and the Pelew islands we may 

 compare, with Ngoli, the island de los Reyes 

 Saavedra, 1528, de los Matalotes, Villalobos, 

 1542 ; those of Hunter 1791, and the islands seen 

 1796. Those of Hunter seem to correspond most 

 with the situation of Ngoli. The islas de Sequeira, 

 1526, are, with much probability, supposed by 

 Burney to be los Marti res of tlie Spaniards, 1802, 

 more to the west than the Pelew islands. 



Pelli (K.), according to the pronunciation of 

 Ulea, and, according to him, more correctly IValaii ,•
