Geography and Travel. 827 
ductory sketch of the early historical geography of America, together 
with a life of Schöner, and fac-similes of his earlier globes, consti- 
tute the present volume. In Schéner’s globe of 1523 America is 
for the first time shown as a continent, instead of being broken up 
into many islands, as is the case in all earlier globes. Florida is 
for the first time named in print, the Moluccas have found their 
real place, as have many of the real isles of the sea, while all the 
Se and bogus elements of American geography have disap- 
peared. 
Frencu Guiana.—M., Coudreau, who has recently returned to 
Cayenne, after a sojourn of eleven months in the western Tumac- 
umac range, between the sources of the Itany and the Camopy, 
states that the country is a magnificent one, and the climate not bad. 
The party, having exhausted their provisions, lived out in the open 
air with the Indians, and led the same life with them. M. Coudreau 
me so popular with the Rucuyennes that he induced the pamen- 
chi of the tribe and four of his men to accompany him to Cayenne, 
where their arrival caused a sensation, and where the Governor made 
them very weicome. 
- Coudreau has discovered the existence in undoubted French 
territory of sixteen new tribes of Indians, forming a group of 20,- 
ersons. These Indians are sedentary, and have attained a 
certain degree of civilization.
