Annotation:Grew cites Piso on the Sloth in De Indiae, p.321-2. Piso includes a picture of the animal intact, and another of its skeleton, which specimen he sent to the Anatomy Theater in Leiden (http://www.archive.org/stream/mobot31753002909064#page/322/mode/2up). See Miguel de Asúa et al., Book A new world of animals : early modern Europeans on the creatures of Iberian America (2005): 121. Grew also cited Piso on the rhinoceros, Book Vi, p.51. (http://www.rhinoresourcecenter.com/pdf_files/123/1238686973.pdf).
Grew seems to cite sometimes one author or another, or sometimes two ("Marggravius and Piso").
