s, dated respectively 1527 and 1529--call it "Y de Pinos," and on
the globe of Ulpius, to which the year 1542 is assigned, "de Pinos"
is clearly marked. Bellero's map, 1550, has an island "de pinolas."
Naturally, map-makers were slow to adopt new names, and in the numerous
editions of Ptolemy the label St Iago was retained almost to the end of
the century.{3} On the Agnese map there are two islands, one named "S.
Tiago," the other "pinos," which introduced a new confusion, though he
was not followed by most geographers until Wytfliet, 1597, gave both
names to the same island--"S. Iago siue Y de Pinas"--in which he is
followed by Hondius, 1633.{4} Ortelius, 1579, [28]adopts "I Pinnorum,"
while Linschoten, 1598, has "Pinas," and Herrera, 1601, "Pinos."

1 The Agnese Atlas of 1529 may be cited as an example.

2 See, for example, the so-called Stobnicza [Joannes,
Stobnicensis] map of 151a, and the Ptolemy of 1513
(Strassburg).

3 Muenster, 1540. Cabot, 1544, and Desceller, 1546, give "Y
de Pinos."

4 Mr. P. Lee Phillips, to whom I am indebted for references
to atlases of the time, also supplies the following:
Lafreri, 1575 (?) "S. Tiagoj" Percacchi, 1576, "S. Tiago;"
Santa Cruz, 1541, "Ya de Pinosj" and Dudley, 1647, "I de
Pinos." Hakloyt (iii. 617) prints a "Ruttier" for the
West Indies, without date, but probably of the end of the
sixteenth century, which contains the following; "The
markes of Isla de Pinos. The Island of Pinos stretcheth it
selfe East and West, and is full of homocks, and if you
chance to see it at full sea, it will shew like 3 Islands,
as though there were divers soundes betweene them, and that
in the midst is the greatest; and in rowing with them, it
will make all a firme lande: and upon the East side of these
three homocks it will shewe all ragged; and on the West
side of them will appeare unto you a lowe point even with
the sea, and oftentimes you shall see the trees before you
shall discerne the point."

When the name given by Columbus was dropped and by whom the island was
named "de Pinos" cannot be determined.

Our colleague, Mr. Francis R. Hart, has called my attention to a second
Isle of Pines in American waters, being near Golden Island, which was
situated in the harbor or bay on which the Scot Darien expedition made
its settlement of New Edinburgh. The bay is still kn
