  Kashnor notes, "One of the earliest maps to show California with a continuous coastline, and showing the tracks of St. Antoine [1710], Mandana and Quir, Tasman, and other discoverers." This is a copy of L'Isle's 1700 map (093:180) with added border art, redone cartouche, the tip of South America corrected, the Solomon Islands moved. Kashnor dates as [1720] as does Shirley. This map shows corrections from 105:245 in Siberia, but the east coast of Korea is shown in the manner of the 1700 map. Name corrections in Africa on 105:245 do not appear. Compare with 105:244M dated 1720 with a less westerly trending California peninsula and Frisland no longer shown below Greenland. Route of the Mississippi and shape of Hudson's Bay follow the 1700 map, indicating this map may have been printed before the dated 105:244M copy and before the undated 105:245.
