C. Hermann Berendt's transcription of a list of 231 vocabulary entries in English and Miskito (Mosquito) found at the end of Thomas Young's book Narrative of a residence on the Mosquito shore(1842), along with a list of 12 additional Miskito words with English equivalent that Berendt notes separately, indicating that they are found elsewhere in Young's work (leaf tipped in, p. 16). Berendt's version differs at least slightly from that in Young's book, for instance: the order of the languages in the columns is reversed (in Young's book Miskito is on the left and English on the right); and the entries for numerals are given in a separate list at the end (p. 15). Berendt makes annotations in pencil and red ink, noting (p. 9) that those in red are based on the report published by Fellechner, Müller, and Hesse about the Mosquitia, or Mosquito coast (Bericht über die im höchsten Auftrage Seiner Königl. Hoheit des Prinzen Carl von Preussen und Sr. Durchlaucht des Herrn Fürsten von Schoenburg-Waldenburg bewirkte Untersuchung einiger Teile des Mosquitolandes, erstattet von der dazu ernannten Commission; Berlin, 1845). For Berendt's transcription of Miskito vocabulary from that work, see Ms. Coll. 700, Item 131. A few additional notes by Berendt concern various types of turtles referred to in Young's book (leaf tipped in, p. 16).
