r Floris, an island in the Indian Archipelago, about 200 miles in length, and 42 to 50 in extreme breadth, lying between E. Long. 119° 55' and 123°, and S. Lat. 7° and 9° 5'. The surface is hilly, particularly towards the south, where there are several high volcanic mountains, but the interior is very imperfectly known. The principal port, Endé, on the south has an excellent harbour. The chief products are cotton, rice, sulphur, saltpetre, sandalwood, bees'-wax, horses, and slaves; and its trade is carried on principally with Singapore. The native inhabitants are Timuri, but the coasts are chiefly inhabited by Bugis and Malays. The Dutch have a fort on the N. coast called Pota. Flores gives name to the strait which separates it on the E. from Solor and Adenar. This is also the name of one of the Azores. See AZORES.
