They are politically part of French Polynesia. The archipelago is suspected to have been named by Captain James Cook supposedly in honour of the Royal Society, the sponsor of the first British scientific survey of the islands; however, Cook himself stated in his journal that he called the islands Society "as they lay contiguous to one another."The islands became a French protectorate in 1843 and a colony in 1880. They have a population of 235,295 inhabitants (as of 2012). They cover a land area of 1,590 square kilometres (610 sq mi). The islands are divided, both geographically and administratively, into two groups:Windward Islands (?les du Vent) (listed from east to west)MehetiaTahitiTetiaroaMooreaMaiaoLeeward Islands (?les Sous-le-Vent)HuahineRaiateaTahaaBora BoraTupaiMaupitiMopeliaMotu One (Bellinghausen)Manuae ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

  1968 RSA and Comores - Coelacanth FDC and Stamps (Signed by Prof.J.L.B Smith) Exact Image/s of the item on Auction: Please Note that I am a Novice Collector - Kindly ask any questions before bidding. On 26 September 1897, Prof. James Leonard Brierly Smith was born in Graaff-Reine t in the Cape Province (now Eastern Cape). He studied chemistry at the University of Stellenbosch, and completed his PhD at Oxford. After he returned from Oxford, he began to teach chemistry at Rhodes University in Grahamstown. However, Smith gradually switched over to Ichthyology, the branch of zoology which focuses on the study of fish. During this time, he became a prominent figure in the scientific world when he identified a specimen of coelacanth, an ancient species of fish caught near East London in the Eastern Cape on 22 December 1938. The fish was caught by Hendrik Goosen on his trawler, the Nerine. The fish was first examined by Marjorie Courtney-Latimer who worked at the East London museum. After she sent a sketch of the strange looking fish to Prof. Smith, he identified it as a coelacanth, and named it Latimera chalumna in her honour and after the Chalumna River where it was caught. In 1952, another coelacanth was found in the Comoros Islands, and this time Prof. Smith obtained permission from Prime Minister DF Malan to use one of the air force's Dakota planes to fetch the specimen and bring it back to South Africa. Since then, numerous examples of this ancient, cave-dwelling fish have been found. Prof. Smith was also a prolific author, and wrote many books on fish, such as Sea Fishes of South Africa and Old Four Legs: The Story of the Coelacanth. He died on 8 January 1968 Registered Mail at R 35.00 (Combine at no extra charges)
