necessarily have rendered the pigs 
shy, it can hardly be supposed that 
they have exterminated them. 
Table Island ; cultivated. Great Coco ; in 
the old garden and also plentiful all 
over the clearing ; apparently quite 
naturalised. 
Table Island ; cultivated, and as an es¬ 
cape. Great Coco ; very plentiful and 
spreading far into the jungle. 
Both islands ; common in the clearings. 
Table Island ; only in the clearing; not 
plentiful and as it is not met with in 
Great Coco is probably here, as it 
often is, an introduced weed. But it 
need not always be so since the species 
is abundant on bare rocky promon¬ 
tories at the south end of Rutland 
Island where introduction by human 
agency is not to be thought of. 
Great Coco ; this species is not present 
on Table Island apparently, and on 
Great Coco it was only found on the 
isthmus connecting the north-eastern 
peninsula—where the clearing is—with 
the main island. But the species does 
not occur in the clearing, and it is re¬ 
markably abundant where it occurs. 
Moreover it is exceedingly abundant in 
Diamond Island, off the Arracan Coast, 
which is another section of the same 
island chain; the writer is therefore 
inclined to believe that the species 
does not owe its introduction to hu¬ 
man agency but that it may be classed 
among the remanent species.]

human influence, but to the agency of
