126 CONCEPTIONS OF COLUMBUS 



"lago luncor," belong to the Rio de Mares region. 

 Four others, "las cabras," *'Cabo Santo," "Rio de las 

 almadias," and "Rio de do diego," belong to the 

 Puerto Santo region. "C. do fim do abrill" needs 

 no comment on its position. Only two are out of 

 order: "Rio do los largartos" and "puta Roixa" ; the 

 first is an interpolation, the second should be placed 

 between "las cabras" and "Cabo Santo." The co- 

 incidence of the meaning and the position of the 

 nine is quite conclusive as to the Columbian source 

 of the names. 



It will be noticed that no comment has been made 

 in regard to "Cabo d. licotir," "Cabo de boa Ven- 

 tura," "C. delgato," and "cornejo." These names, 

 in part at least, seem to belong to another source 

 than Columbus and their origin will be discussed 

 later. 



(b) SOUTHERN COAST 



Proceeding in order, we will now consider the 

 southern coast of the Cantino land (Fig. 14). The 

 names here are practically all unidentifiable. They 

 are from east to west: "el golfo bavo," "C. lurcar," 

 "C. do mortinbo," "G. do lurcor," "C. arlear," "Rio 

 do corno," and "Rio de las palmas." On the Canerio 

 map, beyond Rio de las Palmas, there appears one 

 more name than on the Cantino, "lago del lodro" 

 (Fig. 15). This name is near the edge of the Canerio 

 map ; it may also originally have been on the Cantino 

 map, and in that case was cut away when the border 

 was trimmed off.
