1507Paesi nouamente retrouati. Et Nouo Mondo da Alberico Vesputio Florentino intitulato. (Montalboddo Fracanzani, ed.)
Vicenza: unpaged, 112 chaps. in 6 books.
—J. C. Rodrigues (Bibliotheca brasilense ..., pt. 1, Rio de Janeiro, Rodrigues & Co.: 440, 1907) reportedly gives a Portuguese transl. and lists 13 other eds. in Italian, Latin, German, and French. C. Malheiro Dias et al. (História da colonização portuguesa do Brasil ..., Porto, Litografia Nacional, 2: 112-117, 1923) published a facsimile of the Italian original with a Portuguese transl. W. B. Greenlee (pp. 53-94 in: The voyage of Pedro Alvarez Cabral to Brazil and India from contemporary documents and narratives, London, Hakluyt Soc., Series 2, No. 81: 1-228, 1938) also reproduces the Italian original with an Engl. transl.; the relevant passages of both are reprinted in Whitehead (1977: 169). Whitehead considers this work, which is the earliest one cited in this bibliography after that of Syllacio (1494?), to contain the first published description of the manatee (book 2, chap. 66, leaves 52 verso-53 recto; p. 60 in Greenlee's transl.). The locality was Bahia Cabrália, Brazil; the unknown author was a member of Cabral's expedition. A different version of the same account is said to have appeared in Latin in 1571; this was translated into English (in J. Osório da Fonseca, The history of the Portuguese ..., London, A. Millar, 1: 98, 1752) and into Portuguese (in J. Osório da Fonseca, Da vida e feitos de El-Rei D. Manuel ..., Porto, Liv. Civ., 1: 87-88, 1944); see Whitehead (1978: 498).

BBC Wildlife 2(7): 362. July 1984.
—Suggests that the report (in the previous February's BBC Wildlife) of heavy dugong casualties in 1983 from oil spills in the Iran-Iraq War may have underestimated dugong numbers in the Arabian Gulf. Quotes Peter Dickinson that in Abu Dhabi, probably 40-70 dugongs per year were caught incidentally, and "even 30 years ago, most of the sandals on Abu Dhabi island were dugong leather."
