(chiefly col.). - [5] refs. - From anon. 16th-century portolan chart on vellum to A. Arrowsmith sr of 1817/20 [information extracted from my entry in the 2001 'Imago Mundi' Bibliography] 'The English place-names of the Galapagos' by Alec McEwen. - In: The Geographical Journal (London : RGS; ISSN 0016-7398), July 1988, 154(2), 234-42 : ill. (map). - [14] refs (including to an article published in Quito in 1973: this, itself, may have further references to your 'Venetian' toponyms) [available on-line through 'J-STOR'] Francis Herbert -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of piero falchetta Sent: 27 October 2010 10:11 To: Discussion group for map history Subject: [MapHist] Place names on Galapagos island (light version) On the Island San Cristobal (Galapagos) there are three "Venetian" place names: Arrecife Schiavoni, Punta Lido, Punta Malamocco.
