pp. 246, 247.

(page 246) I have here put ye names of severall Nations amongst which I have been for ye most part, which I think may extend to some 900 leagues by ye reckoning of my Travells. The names of the Nations that live in the South:--

All these nations are sedentaries, and live upon corn and other grains, by hunting and fishing, which is plentifull, and by ye ragouts of roots. There were many destroyed by ye Iroquoits, and I have seen most of those that are left.

(page 247)
The two last are sedentary and doe reap, and all ye rest are wandering people, that live by their hunting, and fishing and some few of Rice that they doe labour for, and a great many of them have been destroyed by the Iroquoites. Besides all ye above-named Nations I have seen eight or nine more since my voyages.
