Editorial note — BOOK VII
Francis Augustus MacNutt translation
[Note 2: On the east is the gulf or bay of Samana, on the west that of Gonaires.]
[Note 3: The superficial area of Haiti is 77,255 square kilometres. The climatic conditions no longer correspond to Peter Martyr's descriptions, as there are four seasons, recognised, two rainy and two dry. In the upland, the temperature is invigorating and wholesome.]
