The Lima fleet still delaying, the Buccaneers anchored at Tavoga, an island abounding in cocoa and mammee trees, and beautiful water.

Animal food was furnished by the Galapagos Islands in profusion, and of the most delicate kind; of vegetables nothing of use was found except the mammee, the leaves just noticed and berries.

The mammee, guaiacum, and copal, besides other trees and shrubs valuable for their gum, flourish in all parts of the island.

The flavor of the mammee resembles our peach, though not quite so delicate.

Mammea Americana.—The fruit of this tree, under the name of mammee apple, is very much esteemed in tropical countries.
