Notes about the fish muasgan [or musgan or razor fish] and other fishing bait collected from John MacAulay from Gearrloch [Geàrrloch/Gairloch, Ros is Cromba/Ross and Cromarty] but living in Edinburgh [Dùn Èideann] describing how the muasgan is 'Best of all bait for long lines' and that 'suil-an-toin' [sùil-an-tòin or cuttle-fish] grows out of muasgan. Also notes that the black part of muasgan is used as ink; that both it and sùil-an-tòin spout ink; and that sùil-an-tòin is big enough to bait four big nets or lines. Other shell-fish used for bait are mentioned. Text has been scored through as if transcribed elsewhere.
