Ceram

The island of Amboina, near Ceram, is about forty leagues in circuit, and gives its name also to some other small adjacent isles.

We now bore up the helm for Ceram, and came to a place called Gelagula, a reasonably good road, some thirty leagues from Banda.

Accordingly in the morning early I stood in with the north-west point of Ceram; leaving a small island, called Bonao, to the west.

The Ceram Lory, from being well known, and exhibiting the prominent characters of its tribe, is a correct type of the genus.
