APPENDIX 1 347 



(C) Chelonia. 



Two species of Turtles are frequently speared, in the lagoon. 

 They are Chelone imhricata, L., native name Pinnciv sisih, and 

 G. mydas, L., native name Pinncw hetul. Both have ceased 

 to use the main atoll as a breeding-place, for the native 

 demand for them is too great ; but on Keeling atollon their 

 nests are common on the sandy beaches. 



PISCES. 



The fish of the group were not collected, and no doubt 

 a rich harvest awaits the investigator of the myriad smaller 

 coral-haunting species. The native names of those that are of
