notes:
The text identifies a bird of paradise, a bird which flies continually without ever coming to earth until it falls dead. It is described as being caught on the coast of Chile. Specimens of this bird sent to Europe seldom had the legs and feet attached, giving Europeans the idea that they never landed on earth alive. The manuscript, attributed to Champlain, describes his voyage sailing with a Spanish fleet to the Caribbean in 1599 to 1600.
