[s. K. DAWSON] THE VOYAGES OF THE CABOTS 177 



for, as a simple matter of fact, Bonavista is not on any map supposed 

 to show Cortereal's voyages, and, if we take the whole series of maps 

 known to exist, one by one, the result is as follows. Bonavista is not on 

 La Cosa's map (1500); nor on Cantino's (1501) (there are no northern 

 names on that map) ; nor on the King map (1502) ; nor on Salvat de 

 Pilestrina's (1503-4) —this is evidently based on the Cortereal voyages 

 and has names on the east coast of Newfoundland ; nor on Eeinel's (1505) ; 

 nor on Euysch's (1508) ; nor on the portulan of Yesconte (1511) ; nor on 

 the anonymous map of 1520 at Munich ; nor on Nuno Garcia's map

of 1526 ; nor on the celebrated Weimar map of 1527 ; nor on the great 

 map of Alonzo de Santa Cruz in 1542. I have omitted a few which have 

 no names at all upon them, and therefore do not count on either side. 

 Then in order of date comes the map of Vesconte de Maiollo of A. D. 

 1527, and upon this map is the name ben posta. Bonavista is not on the 

 great map of Diego Eibero (1529) ; nor on Yerazzano's (1529); nor on 

 the globe of Finaeus. Then comes Yiegas (1534), where the name is 

 found for the first time, just as Judge Prowse says in his " History,'' and 

 it is found as Boavista.
