In this expedition, Simon de Melo burnt twenty-six ships belonging to the enemy, and set the town of Chatua on fire.

Melo was too weak to be able to do any thing against the enemy, and had to seek protection under the guns of the fort.

The suddenness of the display was like the drawing-up of a stage curtain, with a melo-dramatic army and castle behind.

Another genus of this family is Melo, with very short elytra, and without wings.

M. Boissier does not include Cucumis Melo in his Oriental flora.
