The transference of the name Samand. 189 
Arias Hisrorique, Henri-Abeah, Amsterdam, 1738: Crooked group is 
here named I. Samana. 
EYLANDEN VAN West-Inpien (date and place not given): Guanahani 
and Samana appear on this map attached to islands near Mayaguana. 
Cartes Grocrapaiques, Wd’ Anville, 1731-1794: The present group is 
marked ‘‘Samana ou Krooked.” 
Tue West Inpra Arias; Thomas Jeffreys, geographer to the king: The 
present Samanda is marked “El Terrigo or Atwood’s Key, the Samand.of 
the French.” Southwest is the Crooked group, one island of which is 
marked ‘‘ Samana or Crooked island.’’ 
Map or THE Banamas, Delisle and Buache, 1744: On this map Guana- 
hani appears under the name ‘‘ Isle Nova.’’ 
Map or tHe West Inpies, N. Vischer, Amsterdam, 1740: Guanahani 
appears under the title ‘‘ Samana or Rum island.”’ 
This list might be considerably extended, but the quotations 
are sufficient to show that the name “Samand” has been a sort 
of homeless waif, having several times been transferred. The 
draughtsman who made the Henry II map evidently believed 
that Samana and Guanahani were one and the same island, or 
he would not have so marked it; but because it was a super- 
numerary, other cartographers attached it to the Crooked group. 
So we have Juan de la Cosa’s map, on which it is doubtful 
whether Guanahani is itself or not; the Henry II map, on which 
Guanahani is certainly itself and Samand at the same time, and 
a score or more of later maps on which “Samana” is applied to 
the Crooked group. It will be observed, moreover, that Jeffreys 
retains the name in both places, calling Crooked island “Samana” 
and the other “‘ the Samana of the French”; but when finally the 
name ‘‘ Crooked ” was exclusively applied to the island at present 
bearing the nanie, “ Saman4&” was put back in its old place. It 
had previously belonged to an island lying northwest of Maya- 
guana, and it was put back there. In other words, if the testi- 
mony of these maps is worth anything, Guanahani, El Terrigo, 
Trianga, Atwood Cay, Isle Nova and Samana are one and the same, 
and that one is the Guanahani of Columbus. 
Beyond a few observations concerning the second island at 
which the squadron landed, it is not within the province of this 
paper to attempt tracing the course to Cuba. It is believed by 
the writer that the identification of the second island is the chief 
factor to the locating of the first. Sometime during the 14th of 
October, Columbus sailed southwestward for the largest island,
