If this fishing has ceased, for what reason? Are there land turtles in Saint-Domingue, and are they large and good to eat? Are manatees also brought in, as in the past, when they were fished in considerable numbers in the Amazon River? Is the same fishing still practised elsewhere, and who are the people involved in it? Are manatees sometimes fished in the course of Saint-Domingue? An accurate description of this fish, as the illustrations do not correspond with what has been written. If there are several species, note the external differences between males and females. If there are others besides those necessary for reproduction. How many young do females have at a time and how long do they carry them? If lizards are very common and very large, and the use made of them.
