Islands W of the Moluccas, in the Malay
Archipelago, the greater number belonging to
Indonesia. They are so named because they lie
largely on the Indonesian extension of the
Sunda continental shelf. The Greater Sundas
include Borneo, Java (including the small
island of Madura), Sumatra, Sulawesi, and
Belitung. The Lesser Sundas (Indonesian Nusa
Tenggara) are all Indonesian and include
Bali, Lombok, Flores, Sumba, Sumbawa, and
Timor.
