This work, of which only three editions are noted here, is often 

 incorrectly cited as giving evidence of the occurrence of 

 F. loa in Africa in 1598. (Cf. Ward, 1905.) This, the orig- 

 inal edition, has not the plate supposed to illustrate the ex- 

 traction of F. loa,

 Hollandois et de son Voyage es Indes Orientales, etc. 

 Amstelredam, Theodore Pierre, 4°. 

 This later reprint possesses the plate in question.

 Enghsh translation of 1598. The First Book. Edited.

The footnotes of this reprint (pp. 46, 52) disclose clearly the 

 fictitious character of the plate in question.
