  ISLANDS (Dutch Batoe), a group of three greater and
forty
 -eight lesser islands in the Dutch
East
  Indies, W. of Sumatra, between o to' N. to 6 45' S. and 97 50'98 35' E., belonging to the Ayerbangi
district
  of the lowlands of Padang (Sumatra). They are separated by the strait of Sibirut from the Mentawi group. The three
chief
  islands, from N. to S., are Pini or Mintao, Masa, and
Bala
 . The
total
 
land
  area of the group is 445 sq. m. The islands are generally low, and covered with forest, in which the cocoanut palm is conspicuous. There is
trade
  in cocoanuts, oil, and other forest produce. The natives, about 3000 in number, are of Malayan or pre-Malayan stock, akin to those of the
island
  of Nias to the north-west. Only about twenty of the smaller islands are inhabited.
