NO. 5 MAMMALS OF PANAMA— GOLDMAN 245 



Wafer, Lionel. 



1729. A New Voyage and Description of the Isthmus of America, 3d ed., 

 London, 1729. Published as pp. 263-460 of the third volume of 

 Dampier's Voyages. The original edition was published sepa- 

 rately under the same title in 1699. 



Includes quaint and interesting accounts of mammals based 

 on observations made in eastern Panama in 1681. Owing to an 

 accident which prevented him from marching with the others, 

 Wafer was left behind by Dampier's party at an Indian planta- 

 tion on the Rio Congo in the early part of May. He and four 

 companions remained among the Darien Indians until the latter 

 part of August when Dampier's party was rejoined at the 

 " Sambaloes " (= San Bias Islands).
