Kerrs Voyage Vol 2.
p. 246 Cada Mosto, in discovering Cape Verd Isd. says no beast or man whatever (except pigeons, innumerable so tame as readily to be allowed to be caught) - Now monkeys & cats wild.
p. 178. Juan G. Zarco says Porto Santo was inhabited! context almost refutes this - says Madeira was not (nor I presume from other Voyages the Azores.)
