    agreed with Ptolemy that the Heavens were solid and moved round the
    earth, which was the centre of the Universe.

85. Pirrie, a sudden storm at sea.  According to Jamieson, Pirr, in

89.  Thus the only result of Davis’s Voyage was the discovery of the broad
    piece of water since known as Davis’s Straits, extending between
    Greenland on the East and Cumberland Island on the West.  It connects
    the Atlantic with Baffin’s Bay.  In the next voyage, Davis seems to have
    crossed the mouth of Hudson’s Straits, without entering them.

90.  The full text of Davis’s account is given in Vol. vi., p. 250 of this
    Edition.

91.  It seems probable that either Zeno was wrecked on one of the Shetlands,

     the ordinary sense.  The bottom is rocky, and generally reached at 25
     to 95 fathoms:  length and breadth about 300 miles:  the only shallow
     region in the Atlantic.
