a Map, affording a very pleafant Profpeft, were it not 
for the Horrours of the Neighbouring Precipices. Hence 
We counted fifteen or fixteen Lakes, great and fmall, 
where the Cavities of the Rocks are filled up with the 
Rills that gleet from the Hills ; all thefe are laid to a- 
bound with Trouts, fomeof which we found to be efpe- 
cial good Fifh : And in one of theft Lakes I was oa 
board a floating Ifland, as it may be called ; the L^ke is 
(carce half a Mile about, environed with a boggy turfy 
Soil, a piece of which, about fix Yards long and four 
broad, floats on the Water, being about five or fix Inches 
railed above it, but it, I believe, about eighteen Inches 
deep within the Water, having broad fpreading fungous 
Roots on its fides, the lightnets of which Buoys it up. 
It was driven on the Lee flhore, but Ilanched it off and 
fwam it, to be fatisfied it floated : This I take the more 
notice of, becauft it is denied to be true, by the Author 
oi the Additions to Camhden, lately Publiftied : But I 
ray felf faw it as defcribed, and was told it had former- 
]y been bigger, there being a lefler fpot, that they told 
us had been heretofore a part thereof, which floated 
likewife. I have not time nor Paper to defcribe this hor- 
rid fpot of Hills, the like of which I never yet (aw, but 
fliall endeavour therewith to give the Society a further 
Entertainment.
