1 written "big Tosi" map or "large Tosi" map; on the other
2 ones in Mr. Tosi's article I have written "small Tosi"
3 map. We also have the Sader maps and we have the Cedla
4 maps. If we can stick to that terminology, I will know
5 what we are referring to.

7 MR. RAMPTON: You see, I am not clear, my Lord, why it is called
8 a Cedla map.
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Purely and simply because it was faxed from
11 Dr. Carriere's department on his department fax machine.
12
13 MR. RAMPTON: It is at the top. I will call that Sader ---
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It has "Cedla" at the top of the page. It
16 may not be a very good reason, but at least we know what it
17 means.
18
19 MR. RAMPTON: -- small Tosi, large Tosi. (To the witness): It
20 is really only this (and it is probably something we can
21 all see for ourselves anyway, Dr. Carriere) but taking
22 small Tosi, Sader and Cedla altogether, by and large, they
23 present the same historical account?
24 A. Yes, they do.
25
26 Q. One other thing, in the Cedla map 1961, do you see ---
27 A. Yes.
28
29 Q. -- there is something towards the south of the country that
30 looks a bit like an ant eater lying on its back, do you
31 see, in the middle of a black area, towards the south?
32 A. Towards the south -- oh, yes.
33
34 Q. Just underneath the line one would draw a cross underneath
35 1961, there is a white blob with two -----
36 A. Oh, yes.
37
38 Q. San Isidro is at the north of that white block, is it not,
39 that is the El General Valley, is it not?
40 A. That is the El General, yes.
41
42 Q. That again has been deforested for some considerable time,
43 has it not?
44 A. The Valley has, yes.
45
46 Q. Lastly this (and I am sorry I keep saying "finally" when I
47 think of something else), the other book, handbook,
48 published in 1970 which -----
49 A. Is that the area handbook for Costa Rica?
50
51 Q. Yes, the area handbook. Again, so far as your knowledge of
52 Costa Rica, is that a book you are familiar with?
53 A. Yes, I am familiar with the series.
54
55 Q. Are you familiar with that particular ---
56 A. Yes.
57
58 Q. -- issue in the series?
59 A. Yes, I am, yes.
