–P. 46: {"Next comes a pond that I suspect is brackish, La Laguna de Tesca. Your peon will tell you strange stories of the viviparous fish - manati - with women's breasts, found there. It is the Manatus Americanus, a mammal. This is Herndon's cow-fish, a staple article of food on the Amazon, but not often caught here [near Cartagena, Colombia]. No wonder that its meat is not like fish, for it is no more a fish than a seal or a whale is."}
