[Endnote 52: (p. 33). _Needle or sailing chart._--See Introductory § on History of Maps and Nautical Intruments in Europe up to the time of Prince Henry, vol. ii, pp. cxvii-cl, and especially pp. cxlvii-cl.] [Endnote 53: (p. 34). _Barinel ... Barcha ... anything worth recording._--[A Varinel or Barinel was an oared vessel then in use, whose name survives in the modern Varina; so Francisco Manoel, Epanaphoras, p. 317, etc.].--S. See Introduction to vol. ii, pp. cxii-cxiii. On the _Footmarks of men and camels_ Santarem remarks.--[To this place our sailors gave the name of Mullet Bay (Angra dos Ruivos), from the great quantity of these fish that they found there. The bay appears with this name in the Map of Africa in the splendid Portuguese Atlas (unpublished), dating from the middle of the sixteenth century, in the Royal (National) Library at Paris (R. B. No. 1, 764)].--S. See Introduction to vol. ii, p. x. Ruivos is variously rendered "Mullet," "Gurnet," "Roach." The original meaning is simply "red[fish]."] [Endnote 54: (p. 35). _Went up country 8 leagues, etc. ... anchorages._--[Our men named this place Angra dos Cavallos (cf. Barros _Decades I_, i, 5; Martines de la Puente, _Compendio de las Historias de las Indias_, ii, 1). This place-name is marked in nearly all the sixteenth and seventeenth century maps of Africa].--S.] [Endnote 55: (p. 36). _Two things I consider ... saith he who wrote this history._--Though these phrases, "our author," "he who wrote this history," are certainly applied by Azurara to himself in some instances, there is also sometimes a suggestion of the previous writer on the Portuguese _Discovery and Conquest of Guinea_, viz., Affonso Cerveira, a seaman in Prince Henry's service (see Introduction to vol. ii, p. cx). Here, we fancy, a passage of Cerveira's work is referred to. The loss of the latter is deplorable. It evidently contained all the facts and documents given by Azurara, and some omitted by him (see ch. lxxxiv of this Chronicle, end). Azurara added the reflections and the rhetoric, but followed Cerveira's order of narrative closely (see especially ch. lxvi).] [Endnote 56: (pp. 37-8). _Sea-wolves ... Port of the Galley ... nets ... with all other cordage._--[These _Sea-wolves_ are the _Phocæ Vitulinæ_ of Linnæus. Cf. the _Roteiro_ of Vasco da Gama's First Voyage, under December 27th, 1497, p. 3 of Port. text "Achamos muitas baleas, e humas que se chamam _quoquas_ e Lobos marinhos."]--S. [The _Port of the Galley_ is so named in the Portuguese Atlas above referred to (Paris: _Bibl. Nat._, i, 764, of the sixteenth century), and in the Venetian maps of Gastaldi (1564); cf. Barros, _Decades I_, v, 11, who says, "Ponto a que ora chamâo a pedra da Galé"].--S. On the "nets ... with all other cordage," cf. Barros, _Decades I_, ch. v, fol. 11: "No qual logar achou humas redes de pescar, que parecia ser feito o fiado dellas, do entrecasco d'algum pao, como ora vemos o fiado da palma que se faz em Guiné."]
