 and Defcription of the Ifthmus 

 of America. 



MY firft going abroad was in the Great The A'$ 

 of London, Gwpt.Zachary Browne ^ Voy ' 

 Commander, bound for Bantam in 

 the ifle of Java, in the Edft-Indies $ in the 

 Year 1677. I was in the Service of the Sur- 

 geon of the Ship 5 but being then very young, 

 I made no great ObferVations in that Voyage, 

 My Stay at Bantam was not above a Month, ^amm, 

 we being fent from thence to Jamby in the 

 Ifle of Sumatra. At that time there was 

 a War between the Malayans of lihor oh Mm 

 the Promontary of Malacca, and thofe of maUc^ 

 Jamby * and a Fleet of Proe s from lihor 

 blocked up the Mouth of the River of Jam- Jambp 

 by. The Town of Jamby is about 100 Mile 

 up the River : But within 4 or 5 Mile of the 

 Sea, it hath a Port Town on the River, con- 

 fiding of about 15 or 20 Houfes, built on 

 Pofts, as the Fafhion of that Country is i 

 The Name of this Port is ^uolla 3 though Qa*t** 

 this feems rather an Appellative than a Pro- 

 per Name, for they generally call a Port §>jtoU
