Remarks

A Stranger may soon become acquainted with the different Islands in this route as they have in general remarkable Mountains to know them by

On the North part of Lombock is a high Mountain which sufficiently particularizes the Island Between it and the West end of Sumbawa is called Streights Alles. North 3 Leagues from the Shore of Lombock lies a Bank called Schlder[?] but whether it is dangerous or only a fishing Bank I do not know
