- Notes: "Owing to the fact that a number of the woodcuts in this work are reproduced from [Piso's Historia Naturalis Brasiliae of 1648] this is sometimes said to be a second edition. It is in fact a different work, as a comparison of the contents will prove"--Sabin 63029; Borba de Moraes 676; Alden 658/129; Garrison-Morton 1825.
