Note 164 — A true and agreeable description of some principal Indian lands and islands, which have not been recorded in former chronicles, but have now been first explored amid great danger during the voyage of Ulrich Schmidt of Straubing, and most carefully described by him.
Reading edition
This island was called Isla del Paraiso (Paradise Island) by the Spaniards. The Indians living there were the Itatis.
[165] Yacaré is the name, in the Guaraní language, of the amphibious animals similar to the crocodile, to which Schmidt alludes hereafter. But there never was a tribe of that name; perhaps it was the name of a cacique.
