Kashnor notes, "Shows the Gulf of California only reaching as high as the Bona Guia, but without the definite termination; also shows New Holland and part of New Zealand, with the tracks of Mendana, Dampier, Olivier, Tasman, Pelsart, Magellan and le Maire." This appears to be a later state of the 1700 map, see 093:180. The slant of South America has been corrected eastward, some new names appear on the west coast of Africa, and a new mountain range in Siberia. Image is lighter than 1700 original.
