Kashnor notes, "Shows the Terre de Jesso almost touching California, the then existing idea of the passage between Asia and America. Locates the Terre de Quir, which though out of the longitude, resembles the Northern Coast of Australia. Shows also New Holland and the coast of New Zealand and Van Diemen's Land."
