Society Islands

Society Islands is the name of an archipelago in the South Pacific, consisting of 13 principal islands and numerous islets, the chief being Tahiti. They are mountainous, and engirdled by belts of flat land as well as coral reefs. They have a fertile soil and luxuriant vegetation, while the climate is healthy though enervating. The inhabitants are intelligent but indolent, and the land is worked by immigrant races.
