 from still earlier authors. The above-cited figures are, with possibly one exception, from

 Magnus, of various fabulous marine monsters.

Le Seizieme Livre includes not only the species above named, but also the Sea-Tortoises, 

 and various anthropomorphous marine monsters. The first four books treat of the general 

 economy of "Fishes," including their external and internal anatomy, their habits, facultieu, 

 etc., and of modes of capturing them, including the Cetacea passim. The figures arc the 

 same as those of the Latin ed. (1554), q. v. The second division of the work contains the 

 marine Invertebrates, the fluviatile Fishes, Amphibians, Reptiles, and Turtles, and also 

 the Beaver, "le Bieure." [15.]
