Other Information

Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being “Oceania Polynesia; ?Tonga; ?Fiji”, but the landscape, people, and boats do not appear to be Tongan. It is more likely to have been taken in Fiji. The Place field has been amended accordingly. [Information provided by Andrew Mills, Fiji Project, JD 17/7/2012]
