o galápagos espéranlos de noche a que salgan fuera del agua, y entonces corren a ellos los pescadores, y vuélvenlos la concha abaxo y la barriga arriba, y luego a otro, y después a otro. Y así trastornan muchos de presto; y ellos, como no se pueden volver, quédanse así, y el pescador cógelos, a las veces veinte, a las veces quince.
\nA los caracoles de la mar llaman tecciztli. Tienen cuernos y son de comer. Y la concha es blanca, muy blanca, como hueso. Es retorcido. Es aquella concha como una cueva adonde se esconde. A las veces echa fuera medio cuerpo y los cuernos. A las veces se esconde dentro.
