the Tongan arcliipelago are represented tliroiiglioiit the gazetteer by the 

 following abbreviations in parentheses: (T) Tongatabu : (H) Ilaapai ; 

 (V) Vavau; (NT) Niuatoputapu : (NF) Niuafoou. 



The Tongan and scientific names of Tongan birds liave been derived 

 from two papers, one by Finsch and Hartlaub,=° the other by Graffe.^' 

 I. H. Burkill's Flora of Vavau^- gives the Tongan as well as the scientific 

 names of a dozen Vavau plants. To a slight degree the scientific names 

 of Samoan plants and animals were utilized for their apparent Tongan 

 equivalents where the native names in the two archipelagoes were similar. 

 Such a proceeding, however, is unsound and has not been carried far by 

 the author. The few names utilized were derived from Pratt^' and from 

 Kramer.-'' The location of villages on the island of Tongatabu and on 

 the islands of the Vavau group is shown on the maps (fig. i and fig. 2). 



No charts were available for showing the position of the villages on 

 the island of Niuafoou, namely : Mua, Tongamamao, Sapaata, Mataaho, 

 Fataulua, Angaha. Ahau, and Petani : nor for those on the island of Niua- 

 toputapu, namely: Vaipoa, Hihifo, Matavai, and Falehau. 



For the location of islands, reefs, channels, hills, and other geographic 

 features within the Tongan Archipelago, standard atlases, British Admir- 

 alty charts, and the following charts issued by the Hydrographic Office of 

 the United States Navy may be consulted :
