Island of Osigan.  Northeast of the island of Panay and three leagues from its extreme point, lies the island of Osigan, which we call the island of Tablas.  It is about eighteen leagues in circumference, and is quite mountainous.  Wax is collected there.  It has a population of about two hundred and fifty Indians, living in small villages.

Island of Cibuyan. Six leagues from Osigan lies the island of Cibuyan.  It is about twelve leagues in circumference, and six leagues wide.  It has about three hundred Indians, of whom two hundred are under one of the Panay encomenderos.  In this island are to be found very good gold mines, but they are not properly worked, for the Indians are all Pintados, and are very slothful.  They belong to the jurisdiction of Arevalo.

Island of Buracay. About two arquebus-shots from the north point of the island of Panay, lies the island of Buracay.  It is about three leagues in circumference, and one-half league wide.  It is inhabited by about one hundred Indians, who cultivate rice there, and in addition derive profit from some goats.

Island of Anbil. One half league from this island is another island, called Anbil.  It is about three leagues in circumference, and one wide.  Its fifty Indians are mostly ship-builders.

Island of Simara. About two leagues from the island of Tablas—­or, as it is also called, Osigan—­lies the island of Simara.  It is about four leagues in circumference, and two leagues wide.  It has a population of one hundred and fifty.  These people are traders, and raise goats, and therefore the island is called Cabras ["Goats”] Island.  It is about twelve leagues from the island of Panay.

Island of Sivaay. Four leagues west of the north point of Panay, is the island of Sivaay.  It is five leagues in circumference, and one and one-half leagues wide, and has a population of seventy Indians.

Island of Similara. About three leagues farther, toward the island of Mindoro, is found the island of Similara, with a population of ninety Indians.  It is four leagues in circumference, and one league wide.  All the people of these islets gather a very scanty harvest; they make salt, and are traders.

Island of Batbatan. South of the north point of Panay, and about one and one-half leagues from that island, lies the island of Bacbatan, with a population of eighty Indians.  The island is about three leagues in circumference, and one league wide.  The inhabitants raise their wheat and produce their wax on the island of Panay.  All these islands—­Buracay, Anbil, Simara, Sivaay, Similara, and Bacbatan—­are under one of the encomenderos of Panay.

Island of Banton. The island of Banton lies about one and one-half leagues from the island of Simara, or Cabras.  It is about eight leagues in circumference and three leagues wide, and has two hundred Indians.  The island is very craggy; it abounds in palm-trees, potatoes, yams, and wax.  The people are traders.
