Transcriber's notes
There are three corrections that have been made to the original entry but I was unsure whether they were done at the time or later, all in the descriptions part. after ...the Holm of Pharay and it looks like 'about and' has been overscored. The next sentence has had 'is' added in. Further on in that sentence it originally reads '...and was endowed...' and this has been scored out and the word 'given' added.Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
