A guinea pig is not from Guinea but a rodent from South America. A
firefly is not a fly, but a beetle. A giant panda bear is really a
member of the racoon family. A black panther is really a leopard that
has a solid black coat rather then a spotted one. Peanuts are not really
nuts. The majority of nuts grow on trees while peanuts grow underground.
They are classified as a legume-part of the pea family. A cucumber is
not a vegetable but a fruit.
I therefore send to His Majesty a chart drawn by my own hand upon
which is laid out the western coast from Ireland on the north to the
end of Guinea, and the islands which lie on that route, in front of
which directly to the west, is shown the beginning
of the Indies....
