One of these stones (cocoa-nut pearls) in my possession has recently been presented to the
Ethnological Museum at Cambridge. It is encircled by a dark ring, caused, I was told, by its
adherence to the shell of the cocoa-nut in which it was found, for it is asserted that it is usually,
if not always, found in the open eye or orifice at the base of the cocoa-nut, through which the
root would otherwise issue.—W. S. ↑
