He was a student of medicine and natural sciences in the Universities of Sala- 

 manca and Alcala, and a teacher and physician in the University of Coiml^ra 

 (or Lissahon ?). In 1534 Garcia accompanied Martini AfFonso de Souza, grand 

 admiral of the Indian fleet, to Goa, and lived there as a royal physician 

 (Physico d'El Eey) to the hospital. Garcia appears to have been still living 

 there in 1562, when he obtained the vice-regal privilege for his book 

 " Coloquios dos simples e drogas he cousas mediginais da India, e assi dalguas 

 frutas achadas nella ande se tratam. . . . Impresso em Goa, por Joannes de 

 endem as x de Abril de 1563," 436 pp., 4°. (British Museum).— F. A. von 

 Varnhagen has caused the Coloquios to be reprinted in 1872 at Lisbon. 

 Garcia de Orta's Coloquios are, notwithstanding the utterly diffused style of 

 tlie work, a precious source of information on eastern drugs. They had the 

 good chance to _ be translated, as early as the year 1567, by Clusius, who 

 omitted the insignificant parts of the book, re-arranged it conveniently, and 

 added valuable notes. See Fliickiger in Buchner's Kepertorium fur Pharmacie, 

 XXV. (1876) 63-69.
