+Fria+, serra (“Cold Mountains”), on Pigafetta’s map, in 17.5
S.; the _Monti Freddi_ (“cold mountains”) of the text, stated
to be known to the Portuguese as _Monti nivosi_ (“snowy
mountains”). Modern maps show a _Serra da neve_ in 14.0 S.; but
as I am not aware that snow ever fell in these mountains,
_neve_ may be an ancient misprint for _nevoas_ (mists). The
_Serra Fria_ may possibly be connected with the _Cabo Frio_,
thus named because of the cold current which washes it.
