APPENDIX 363 



Extreme Hook. Marked by G. and R. (1707) Uyterste Hoek or Uyterste 

 Zand. 



Point Purchas (Edge, 1625). — The Black Cape of Scoresby, the North 

 Cape of modern charts. 



Scoresby Island is apparently the Flak Eyl. of G. and R. (1707). 



Cape Platen seems to be the Rene Eyl. of G. and R. (1707). 



Outger Reps Eyland (G. and R., 1707). 



Walrus Eyland (G. and R., 1707) is Zoogdrager's Walvis Eyland. 



Duyre Bay (G. and R, 1707).— SSE. of Outger Reps Eyland. 



Een G 'root hoog Eyland (G. and R., 1707). — Near Cape Leigh Smith. 



Cape Torell. — A modern name for the point that used to be called South 

 Hook by the Dutch (G. and R., 1707). 



Veene (G. and R., 1707). — Apparently the modern Augusta Bay. 



Wiches Land (Edge, 1625). — This, I think, is the same as that marked 

 by G. and R. (1707), "Commandeur Giles Land ontdet 1707, is 

 hoog land." In a future work I shall state my reasons for this 

 belief. Wiches Land is now generally called King Karl's Land, 

 or King Charles Lslands, but the old name should be preserved.
