They all say that these marauders flee from fire-arms, so I think that they are not Zulus at all, though adopting some of their ways. In going on to Mapuio's we passed several large villages, each surrounded by the usual euphorbia hedge, and having large trees for shade.

Again, Euphorbia, a mundane or widely distributed genus, has here eight species, of which seven are confined to the archipelago, and not one found on any two islands: Acalypha and Borreria, both mundane genera, have respectively six and seven species, none of which have the same species on two islands, with the exception of one Borreria, which does occur on two islands.
