Folder 3 Island localities, Item 1

A list of names of island localities found amongst the papers of Mrs. Nancy Tallant after her death in 1870. The list was probably made fifteen or twenty years earlier. The spelling of some names which occure more than once varies in the different places; this has not been altered in copying, as it shows that the spelling of our Indian names was still un settled as late as the middle of the nineteenth century. We have come to some agreement in these later days, but of these various ways of representing the Indian gutturals one way is doubtless as good as another.
