Kashnor notes, "The map still shows the territory around the southern part of Hudson's Bay as French territory, with Fort Nelson called Fort Bourbon, and Fort St. Louis on Moose River. The supposed Western Sea is taken from particulars furnished by La Houton." See 105:433 for earlier version, 105:432 for later. McCorkle identifes this as 1708 version. Cartouche with natives.

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. See also 093:181, 105:244 and 105:245 for later editions. Cartouche - figures representing four continents. Prime meridian: Ferro. Relief: pictorial. Projection: Dual Hemisphere. Watermark: Chained Maltese cross. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Other Features: Cartouche. References: Shirley 603. Verso Text: MS notes: 245.

Kashnor notes, "The map of Hudson's Bay is taken from Henry Elis, who made the voyage in 1746-47. There are three other charts of the Bay, Sanson, and Delisle, 1700 and 1703." This is one of the set of ten maps done by Didier Robert de Vaugondy for the Diderot Encyclopedia Supplement. It compares four views of Hudson's Bay to show the variance with time and information. See 105:433 for the DeLisle 1703 map. Kashnor refers to the lower right or latest map from Henry Ellis. Supple. Number trimmed from upper right margin. Four maps on one sheet. MS note: 436 (on backing).. Projection: Pseudocylindrical. Printing Process: Copper engraving.
