    I need help working out the location on the first line. Looks like "? Is."- some island in Sierra Leone?

    Another query- the final entry is fainter than the rest of the page entries. It does not contain information regarding birds. Should I transcribe this final entry and how would I go about it?

    I can't make out the island name either. I tried to do some sleuthing but didn't come up with anything even close.

    Mut Island, Sierra Leone

    Mut Island on MapCarta

    Mut Island on geoview.info - I'm slightly disturbed to see that it's 10 thousand km below a seal though...

    Re. the final entry, personally I'd copy it out into a comment like this one, but not put it into any of the named transcription fields as it doesn't match the data in there and so would just lead to a less good consensus transcription.

    "The stuff castaway movies are made of: eight tiny islands – Bakie, Bumpetuk, Chepo, Hoong, Mut, Nyangei, Sei and Yele –
    form the Turtle Islands, an undeveloped archipelago thrown across the Atlantic just off the western shore of Sherbro
    Island."
