In 1966 the names for two of the islands in the Juan Fernández archipelago, which date from the sixteenth century, were changed. Másatierra was designated Isla Robinson Crusoe probably in an attempt to promote the romantic association with the fictional character in Defoe's novel which was based, in part, on the experiences of Alexander Selkirk who spent four years on the island as a castaway. To confuse matters, Másafuera, the other large island in the group was renamed Isla Alejandro Selkirk although he never saw the place. In this paper the original names will be used in the expectation that they will eventually prevail. Matters are further complicated by the fact that, especially in older works, the name Juan Fernández Island is used in the singular (see Figure 2). In this case it is Másatierra that is referred to

London, Dampier visited Másatierra on four different occasions, first with Sharp in 1680–1681 and again with John Cooke in 1684 on his earliest circumnavigation, which was the basis for the above book. He visited the Island again as the commander of his own expedition in 1704 accompanied by Stradling, and finally in 1709 on another voyage around the world on this occasion led by Woodes Rogers and Edward Cooke, who were two Bristol privateers

This map, reproduced as Figure 2, is from an atlas by William Hacke, Captain Batholomew Sharp's South Sea waggoner: A description of the sea coasts in the South Seas of America from the port of Acapulco to the Straits of Le Maire, c. 1864. The atlas was based on a collection of charts taken from a galleon which Sharp captured off the coast of Equador in 1681 and which is today in the Huntington Library, San Marino, California with the title Derrotero general del Mar del Sur. The history of these materials is outlined in Kemp, P.K. and C. Lloyd The Brethren of the Coast (London 1960) 51, 54, 59. All of the original Spanish charts are faithfully reproduced in the Hacke atlas including representations of Másatierra and Másafuera together with mariner's instructions. It also contains a much more detailed map of Másatierra in a different style and containing considerable information about anchorages and conditions on the land, leading to the [[Truncated]]

Juan and de Ulloa, op. cit., 659, thought that the absence of birds might in part be explained by the fact that they used the island only as winter retreat. The pink footed shearwater is known to be highly migratory. It nests only on Másatierra and Santa Clara with subsidiary colonies on one or perhaps two other islands close to the mainland coast of Chile. From these places it migrates northward as far as Alaska to return to its breeding ground by November
