Kosrae’s population falls below 200 and only five chiefly titles remain (Hezel: about 300 c.1890).

What happened

The COM-FSM outline says the population fell below 200 in 1880 and only five chiefly titles remained, though tribute and a share of copra still went to the king. Hezel instead puts Kosrae’s low point at about 300 around 1890, and the outline itself warns that its details differ from other sources.
