Coco-nut

Their ſubſiſtence is much the ſame as in the other lſlands; they having ſome Goats, Fowls, Plantains, Coco-Nuts, &c. as I am informed.

[P]lantains, yams, and sweet potatoes, may be also procured, but coco-nuts are in the greatest abundance, and on these all the animals are fed, there being no sort of grain.

[T]he only part of the body exposed to view is the little coco-nut head, with the small, round, beady black eyes in a state of everlasting stare.
