or Moelia, one of the Comorra islands in the Indian sea, between the north end of the island of Madagascar and the continent of Africa. The inland parts are mountainous and woody; but the lands adjoining to the sea are watered by several fine streams which descend from the mountains; and the grass is green all the year, so that it affords a most delightful habitation. There are plenty of provisions of all kinds; and the East India ships of different nations sometimes touch here for refreshment.
