Paesi nouamente retrouati. Et Nouo Mondo da Alberico Vesputio Florentino intitulato. (Montalboddo Fracanzani, ed.)
Vicenza: unpaged, 112 chaps. in 6 books.
–J. C. Rodrigues (Bibliotheca brasilense ..., pt. 1, Rio de Janeiro, Rodrigues & Co.: 440, 1907) reportedly gives a Portuguese transl. and lists 13 other eds. in Italian, Latin, German, and French. C. Malheiro Dias et al. (História da colonização portuguesa do Brasil ..., Porto, Litografia Nacional, 2: 112-117, 1923) published a facsimile of the Italian original with a Portuguese transl. W. B. Greenlee (pp. 53-94 in: The voyage of Pedro Alvarez Cabral to Brazil and India from contemporary documents and narratives, London, Hakluyt Soc., Series 2, No. 81: 1-228, 1938) also reproduces the Italian original with an Engl. transl.; the relevant passages of both are reprinted in Whitehead (1977: 169).
Whitehead considers this work, which is the earliest one cited in this bibliography after that of Syllacio (1494?), to contain the first published description of the manatee (book 2, chap. 66, leaves 52 verso-53 recto; p. 60 in Greenlee's transl.). The locality was Bahia Cabrália, Brazil; the unknown author was a member of Cabral's expedition.
A different version of the same account is said to have appeared in Latin in 1571; this was translated into English (in J. Osório da Fonseca, The history of the Portuguese ..., London, A. Millar, 1: 98, 1752) and into Portuguese (in J. Osório da Fonseca, Da vida e feitos de El-Rei D. Manuel ..., Porto, Liv. Civ., 1: 87-88, 1944); see Whitehead (1978: 498).

[Question about porpoises "playing" with a sea cow.]
Sea Secrets (4)16(4): 4. July-Aug. 1972.
–A reader reports observations of porpoises in the Loxahatchee River, Florida, throwing sea cows "halfway out of the water", and asks if this could be connected with the washing ashore of a dead manatee after one such incident. The answer notes that porpoises (i.e., bottlenosed dolphins) are playful enough to do this sort of thing, but suggests that the death might have had another cause.

[3]: {"These animals [proboscideans] give no clear indication of the British climate at that time but the presence of a seacow, Felsinotherium, indicates that the waters around Britain were relatively warm and that near-shore marine vegetation was abundant." 1 fig.} The reference is to a 5-million-year-old fauna from East Anglia, doubtless that of the Red Crag, and to Miosiren canhami which is evidently reworked from older beds.
