Manati pisces, cap. xiii, pp. 213, 214, 216, 217. There is first in the text (pp. 213, 214) a short 

 account of the Manati of Nicaragua, and at the end of the chapter (pp. 216, 217) a further 

 account, based on that given by Peter Martyr (1533), q. v. The last is additional to that of the 

 original edition, 1365, q. v. [23.]

Manati, p. 158; Vallena, pp. ICO, 161. 



There are only a few lines about the Manati, and these are not important. The account 

 of the capture of Whales by the Indians of Florida, as related to him by " some expert men," 

 is of special interest, as being doubtless the origin of the relation, so often told later, of how 

 the Indians of Florida capture the Whale by getting astride his neck and plugging his nos- 

 trils with wooden stakes, to which they afterwards attach cords and by them tow the Whale, 

 thus killed, to the shore. It is doubtless on this description that the illustration of this man- 

 ner of killing Whales is based in De Bry. (See BE Bur, 1602.) 



Of the numerous subsequent editions and versions of Acosta's work a number are given 

 below, including an Italian (1596), a French (1598), and an English (1604). (See ACOSTA, J. 

 DE, under these dates. ) There is a Latin translation in De Bry, fol. , 1602 (part ix of the " Greater 

 Voyages.") [24.J
