 of William Piso's "De medicina Brasiliensi," 

 comprising four books. The second section is 

 composed of George Marcgrave's "Historise 

 rerum naturalium Brasiliffi." This latter, Laet 

 found left in cipher by Marcgrave. He trans- 

 lated the cipher, added notes of his own (set in 

 separately) and edited the whole work.
