The editor of the Quebec reprint overcame the difficulty without
explanation, by correcting the enumeration throughout. O'Callaghan,
without comment, corrects numbering of p. 191, in his facsimile, but
follows original in numbering the chapters.
Owing to the length of this document, we give only the first
twenty-five chapters thereof, in the present volume; the others will
appear in Volume IV.
NOTES TO VOL. III
(_Figures in parentheses, following number of note, refer to pages of
English text._)
1 (p. 39).--See vol. ii., _note_ 72.
2 (p. 39).--_Ocean of Guienne_: one of many names applied to the
Atlantic Ocean. The Catalan Mappemonde (1375) names it Mare Ochceanum;
Fra Mauro's "World" (1439), Oceanus Athlanticus; Ptolemy's map (ed.
1482), Oceanus Occidentalis; Hondius's (1595), Mar del Nort. Cf. H. H.
Bancroft's _Central America_, vol. i., p. 373.
3 (p. 39).--Ferland says (_Cours d'Histoire_, vol. i., pp. 11-13) of
Aubert that in 1508 "he visited the Gulf of St. Lawrence; if we may
believe the Dieppe chronicles, he ascended the river eighty leagues
above its mouth, and brought to France a Canadian savage."--Cf. vol.
i., _note_ 7. He also cites these Dieppe historians as declaring that
Verrazano was commander of one of the two ships with which Aubert made
the above voyage. The ship commanded by Aubert himself was named "La
Pensée," and belonged, according to the "Gran Capitano" (_Ramusio_,
iii., 359), to "Jean Ango, father of Captain Ango, and viscount of
Dieppe."
