Florida is a convenient name for the largest island in the Nggela group, British Solomon Islands. This group consists of three inhabited islands. The smaller western island bears the native name of Olevuga, and is separated from the other two islands in the group by a fairly wide strait known as the "Sandfly Passage". The centre and eastern islands are separated from one another by a narrow strait called the "Ututha" by the natives, but known to white people to-day as the "Boli Pass", though its older name was the "Scudamore Passage". These two islands bear the one native name of Nggela
