Corvus was one of the well known constellations in South America, with its concentrated and distinct crossed over square easily located in the night sky:

Leo looks as we could expect, and I discover I have neglected to document in my star list the stream of small stars below θ (Coxa):

So far I have only 19 stars in my list and one of them is 93:
