 [= ill. title (the one first given above), engr. title (the second given above), 

 dedic. to the reader, index'], pp. 1-950, 1. 1, pp. 1-90, 11. 3 [ index and errata], 



11. 10 [gen. index, index of authors, errata, and corregenda]. The leaves con- 

 taining the general index, etc., here placed at the end of the volume, are in 

 some copies bound in at the front of the general text. The "Historiae Ani- 

 malivm et Mineralivm Novae Hispaniae . . . Francisco Fernandez Philippi 

 Secundi primario medico avthorc" (pp. 1-90-j-ll. 3) is also similarly transposed 

 in binding. 



There are earlier editions, none of which T have been able to see: the collation of that of 

 1628 (q. v.) has been already given, copied from Sabin. On Hernandez and his works see Itich, 

 Books relating to America, 1493-1700, pp. 72-74. 



The matter of special interest in the present connection is : De Manati, Nardi Ant. Recchi, 

 ix, cap. xiii, pp. 323, 324, 2 figg. 



About p. of text, and 2 cuts, one in profile, the other from above, scarcely recognizable as 

 having any relation to the Mnnati : body elliptical, tail broad and rounded, with a ring at base; 

 head in profile, sui generis ; from above, somewhat calf-like; fore-limbs quite long, feet hoofed, 

 and of a bovine form, especially as seen in the profile figure. The characters given by the 

 artist do not conform to those in the text, which is, compared with other early accounts, not 

 remarkable for accuracy. 



Ambra grisea seu odorata, lo. Fabri Lyncei Expos., pp. 564-579. A long disquisition about 

 Ambra grise, its nature, origin, and medicinal properties, etc., with references passim to 

 Balsenae. [76.]
