content: Location given as 'Uala, Truk Gr. Caroline Islands'. The US Fish Com. vessel Albatross records that Uala was the last island of Truk they visited (see Moore 1901, the Albatross south sea expedition), and Uala is almost certainly the island of Weno (formerly Moen), which has many former and alternative names (https://www.gutenberg.org/files/42537/42537-h/42537-h.htm).
