positions, while the land masses without are conveniently assembled round the margin. A, Australia; F, Fiji; 
H, Hawaii; NC, New Caledonia; NZ, New Zealand; S, Samoa; T, Society Islands. The northern Cook Islands 
are marked with vertical lines, the southern Cook Islands with horizontal lines, and Niue is black.
