G. Delisle and P. Buache. Map of the Bahamas. 1740. In a volume of maps, Library of
Congress. I. Croqued, Fortune, and Acklin are strung along northwest and southeast. To the
northeast of Croqued is a small island marked " I. Nova." It is near the present place of Samana.
I have not met this name before. On page 80 of this volume is a map in which Samana appears
as one of the Crooked Island group.

part of Crooked 1."
