–Allen 39. Also an earlier ed., 1601 or before? Manatee, 132-135, with fig. based on a stuffed specimen brought to Amsterdam in 1600 by a Dutch navigator "ex Occidentali Oceano." According to Allen, this description and figure were "the first based on an original examination of specimens." For the possible whereabouts of the original drawing, see Whitehead (1977: 176). Durand (1983: 164-165) reproduces and discusses the figure. For additional background, see Peter Mason, 2007, "Americana in the Exoticorum libri decem of Charles de l'Écluse", in F. Egmond et al. (eds.), Carolus Clusius: towards a cultural history of a Renaissance naturalist, Amsterdam, K. Nederl. Akad. Wetens.: 195-219, on pp. 200-201.
