I was in some hope that, on one of our long tacks, we might have come within view of Kumi, the westernmost island of the Miyako Sima group. It lies about sixty miles east from Dome Point, and has four villages. Two or three of the islands lying further east have a much larger area than Botel Tobago, and the population of the entire group is estimated to number about ten thousand. They are said to be a poor but contented and unarmed race, in appearance similar to the Luchuans (to whom they are subject), but resembling the Japanese more in manners, customs, and language.

Les îles Miyako (宮古列島, Miyako rettō?, littéralement « chaine d'îles Miyako ») ou archipel Miyako (宮古諸島, Miyako shotō?) sont un groupe d'îles au sud-ouest du Japon, faisant partie de l'archipel Sakishima, avec les îles Yaeyama à l'ouest et les îles Senkaku plus au nord, et donc de l'archipel Ryūkyū. Cet archipel est situé entre Okinawa Hontō, la grande île de l'archipel d'Okinawa et l'île de Taïwan.[it] Isole Miyako
Le isole Miyako (宮古列島 Miyako Rettō?) sono situate nella parte sud-occidentale della Prefettura di Okinawa e dell'arcipelago delle Ryūkyū, circa 300 km a sud-ovest dell'isola di Okinawa, in Giappone. Formano il piccolo arcipelago delle Sakishima insieme al gruppo delle isole Yaeyama, le uniche del paese situate più ad ovest delle Miyako. Le Miyako furono chiamate nel Cinquecento dai navigatori portoghesi Ilhas dos Reis Magos, (così nella mappa di Lopo Homem del 1554[2]) nome poi mantenuto dagli olandesi nel Seicento come Dos Reijs Magos[3] e dagli inglesi, nella grafia Dos Reys Magos con l'avvistamento di John Saris nel 1611.[4][ru] Мияко (острова)
