This map was publifhed under the infpedlion of Mr^ 

 Muller, and is ftill prefixed to his account of the Ruffian 

 difcoveries^-. The part which exhibits the new difcovered 

 illes and the coafl of America, was chiefly taken from 

 the chart of Beering's expedition. Accordingly that con- 

 tinent is reprefented as advancing, between 50 and 60 

 degrees of latitude, to within a fmall diftance of Kamt- 

 chatka. Nor could there be any reafon to fufpedl:, that 

 fuch experienced failors as Beering and Tfchirikoff had 

 miftaken a chain of iflands for promontories belonging to 

 America, until fubfequent navigators had actually failed 

 through that very part, which was fuppofed to be a 

 continent. 



4. A fecond chart publiflied by the Academy, but not 

 under the infpedlion of Mr. Muller, bears the fame title 

 as the former.
