[7] This paragraph is added to relation of Castenada from the works of
    Faria and Osorius.—­Clarke.

[8] If the Thursday on which they came in sight of the Cape were the 16th,
    the Wednesday following must have been the 22nd of the month.—­E.

[9] This paragraph is an addition to the text of Castaneda from Osorius—­
    Clarke, I. 342

[10] From the circumstances in the text, this watering-place of St Blaze
    is probably what is now called St Katherines or St Sebastians Bay; yet
    that place hardly exceeds forty-seven Portuguese leagues east from the
    cape.  The sixty leagues of the text would carry us almost a degree
    farther east, to what is now called Kaffercroyts river.  Clarke removes
    this place still farther to Flesh Bay, otherwise called Angra de St
    Braz, or Aguada de St Braz by De Barros.  This latter place is seventy
    Portuguese leagues, or above eighty marine leagues east from the cape. 
    —­E.

[11] This account seems erroneous, whether St Katherines or Flesh Bay be
    the one in question, as both ought to be safe in north winds, and the
    winds between the S and E points give both a lee shore.—­E.

[12] Probably a species of Penguins:  Lichefield calls them stares, as
    large as ducks; Osorius says the natives called them satiliario, and
    that they were as big as geese.—­E.

[13] Probably Rock Point, forming the western boundary of Algoa or
    Zwartkops bay, in long. 27 deg.  E. bring the rocky extreme promontory of
    the Krakakamma ridge.—­E.

[14] It is infinitely difficult to guess the course of these early voyages,
    without latitudes or longitudes, and only estimated distances by dead
    reckoning in uncertain leagues; but the Rio del Infante of this voyage
    and that of Diaz, is probably that now called Great-fish river, in the
    Zuureveld of Graaff Reynet, in long. 28 deg. 20’ E which, however, is
    twenty-six Portuguese leagues, or thirty geographical leagues from
    Rocky Point, instead of the fifteen leagues of the text.—­E.

[15] The sixty leagues in the text are inexplicable on any rational
    supposition, as they seem to have again made the Rocks de la Cruz, or
    rather Rocky Point, said just before to be only fifteen leagues from
    Infante river, to which they were then bound.—­E.

[16] The Portuguese ships appear to have been now on the coast of Natal,
    or the land of the Caffres, certainly a more civilized people than the
    Hottentots of the cape.  But the circumstance of Alonzo understanding
    their language is quite inexplicable:  as he could hardly have been
    lower on the western coast than Minz, or perhaps Congo.  Yet, as a belt
    of Caffres are said to cross the continent of Africa, to the north of
    the Hottentots, it is barely possible that some Caffre slaves may have
    reached the western coast.—­E.
