FEJEE ISLANDS, a group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean, the exact number of which has not been ascertained. They are situated from about 15° 33' to 19° 15' of south latitude, and extend to about 175° east longitude. They are equally fertile with the generality of the islands in the South Pacific Ocean, and abound in the same sort of produce. Sandal wood is plentiful, and a considerable trade is carried on with the Europeans in this article. The inhabitants are a ferocious race, being all cannibals. These islands were originally discovered by Tasman in the year 1643. They were seen by Captain Bligh in the years 1789 and 1792; and many European vessels have since visited them.
