The Natural History 



quotanck River, Little River, Pequimans River, and Yaupin 

 River, all these Water and Adorn the Southern Parts of Vir- 

 ginia, and J^orthern Parts of this Province, which are very 

 Fertile. Most of these Rivers being Navigable for Sloops, 

 Brigantines, and other Vessels of Burthen. 



Choivan River likewise Waters the JSTorth Parts of this 

 Province, and part of Virginia, and is very considerable in 

 these Parts; the Inhabitants on its Banks are very Rich by 

 its Fertility, and being so commodious for Trade, it is the 

 fifth large and considerable River in this Province; it falls 

 into Albemarle Sound. 



Keja River is likewise to the ^N'orthward of this Province, 

 but is not very Considerable. 



Roanoke River is the largest in this Province, taking its 

 noble Rise from the Charokee or Appelapeau Mountains, and 

 Watering several Parts of Virginia, as it crosses the due 

 West Line that separates it from Virginia, it is very commo- 

 dious for Trade, being l^avigable for a vast way up the Coun- 

 try, most of the former Rivers empty themselves into this 

 Albemarle or Currituck Sound. 



Maca Punga River, is a ISTorth Branch of Pamticoe River, 

 and admits of Sloops, Brigantines, and other Vessels of 

 Burthen. 



Pamticoe River is the fourth considerable River in these 

 Parts, taking its Rise near or from the Mountains, and falls 

 into Pamticoe Sound, with a vorv large ^louth, several Miles 

 in Breadth, and is not inferior to any of the other large Riv- 

 ers, for the goodness of its Navigation, as is manifest by the 

 many Rich Inhabitants dwelling upon its delightful and fer- 

 tile Banks. 



Bay River is not very considerable, being small, yet its 

 Trade is not despisable.
