FOOTNOTES:
[165-1] This seems to be the earliest description of Yaws (_Framboesia_)
in these islands. Originating in Africa this contagious disease is
believed to have been disseminated by the slave trade. The Dutch or
Portuguese traders carried it from Madagascar and East Africa to Ceylon,
where it still bears the name of _Parangi Lede_, or Foreigners' Evil.
Though Hamilton did not observe it in the South Sea Islands the disease
was probably there, for Mariner, who was in Tonga in 1810, described it
as a well-established disease under the name of _Tona_.
