9.  And further, the said father Fray Francisco de Ortega says that, in addition to the islands named above, are other small islands, whose names follow.  Ybabao is twelve leguas in circuit, has eight hundred tributarios, and is an encomienda.  Samal has three thousand Indian tributarios, or something above ten thousand souls, and a circuit of about fifteen leguas.  Capul is ten leguas in circuit, and has three hundred and fifty tributarios.  The island of Maripipe has a like number, and is fifteen leguas in circumference.  Camanguian, ten leguas in circuit, and one hundred and fifty tributarios; Cubuyan, eighteen leguas in circuit, and two hundred and fifty tributarios; the island of Cabras, a like number, and is eight leguas in circuit.  Vanton is about ten leguas in circumference, and has about three hundred tributarios.  That of Marinducq is thirty leguas in circuit, and has eight hundred Indian tributarios; Romblon, eight leguas in circuit, and one hundred and fifty Indian tributarios; Tablas, eighteen leguas and two hundred and fifty tributarios.  The island of Ambil is five leguas in circuit, and has one hundred and fifty Indian tributarios; Buracay, six leguas, and two hundred and fifty tributarios.  That of Helin is about eight leguas in circuit, and has three hundred Indian tributarios; Calamianes, sixty leguas in circuit, or thereabout, and thus far is known to have six hundred tributarios; Caguayanes, eighteen leguas in circumference, and about five hundred Indians; Mazbate, twenty-five leguas and five hundred and fifty tributarios.  The island of Fuegos is nine leguas in circuit, and has two hundred tributarios; Ymaras, fourteen leguas in circuit, and three hundred and fifty tributarios.

10.  All the above islands, and four other small ones, each of about eighty or one hundred Indians at the most, have no ministers of the gospel, nor are there any Christians in them, although all are apportioned into encomiendas.  One encomendero holds five or six islands as an encomienda; and, because they are not easily accessible, these natives are almost without possibility of ever having ministers, or of attaining to a knowledge of God our Lord.  However, if they should have ministers, and if these dwelt in some of the best populated islands, they could visit the others, since they are near one another.  By this means, those souls might be helped.

11.  The island of Catanduanes, which lies north, near the island of Lucon, is about thirty leguas in circuit, and has four thousand Indian tributarios.  It is apportioned to four encomenderos.  Eight ministers of the gospel are needed for the conversion of those people, who number about sixteen thousand souls.
