The Inhabitants of the Isle Sᵗ Kilda
are about 200 in Number, the Selan
Geese are very numerous here, in so
much that the People commonly keep
Yearly above 20000 young and old in
their little Stone Houses, of which there
are some hundreds, and here is Plenty
of Cod, and Ling of a great size all
Round these Isles.

It is manifest by this Map, which is founded upon undoubted Authority, how
easy it would be to settle the most advantageous Fishery in the World here,
and also with a small Charge to make Rivers navigable, for Carrying tim :
ber to the Sea side, for there grow excellent good Fir &c in these parts,
so that if things were rightly managed, there would be no occasion to go to
Norway for wood or to New-found-land for fish; seeing North Britain
can Plentifully furnish us with both.

The Isles of Schetland afford abun :
dence of Fowl, the several Tribes
of them here build and hatch apart,
and every Tribe keeps close together,
as if it were by consent; some of the
lesser Isles are much crowded with variety of Seafood; after their Arri :
val wich is commonly in February,
they sit very close together for some
time, till they recover the Fatigue of
their long Flight from their remote
Quarters, and after they have hatched
their Young; and find they are able
to Flie, they go away togeteher to some
other unknown Region, these Islan :
ds also produce many Sheep, which
have two and three Lambs at a time;
they would be much more numerous,
did not the Eagles destroy them.

Second, Here Herrigns are com :
monly most plentiful and very near the
Shoar, and here the Dutch &c. dispose
their Nets begin Fishing the 24 of Iune,
and generally leave of in August or
September, 2000 Bushes have been
Fishing in this Sound in one Summer.
