"The third voyage ... 1586" (pages [183]-186) is anonymous. "A briefe and true report of the new found land of Virginia ... by Thomas Heriot," pages [187]-244. "The fourth voyage ... 1587" (pages [245]-270) is given anonymously by Hakluyt. A letter from White to Hakluyt, accompanying his account of the fifth voyage, is here appended to the fourth voyage (pages 270-273) "The fifth voyage ... 1590" (pages [275]-299) is by "Governor" John White.
