Kashnor notes, "Shows California as an island, names New Albion, and locates Port Sir. F.

Kashnor has simply copied the notes he wrote for 093:178M, the 1711 earlier edition of this map. This later edition has two major corrections. California is correctly attached to the mainland, contrary to Kashnor's note above. Also the Kamschatka peninsula is now depicted in northeast Asia. See also 105:243M for another 1711 copy.
