V. MAPS, ETC. 687 



This journal is the scientific organ of the " Museum Godeffroy." It is 

 almost exclusively devoted to the publication of the results of the investiga- 

 tions of the travellers of the Museum in the Pacific, and contains geograph- 

 ical, ethnographical, and natural history memoirs. The management lays 

 particular stress upon the production of technically perfect figures of the 

 novelties described, so that the plates accompanying the journal must be 

 regarded as in many respects patterns of the most various modes of pictorial 

 reproduction. Particular care is also devoted to the production of original 

 maps. 



3246a. Reproduction of the Chart made in 1500 by Tuan 

 de la Cosa, Columbus's pilot, after his second journey with Colum- 

 bus in 1493. ArchcBological Museum, Madrid. 



This is taken from the original at the Ministry of Marine, at Madrid. It 

 may be considered a Mapa-mundi. The part applying to America is most 

 important, as it was drawn out by this pilot in the second journey which he 

 took with Columbus in 1493. This chart was made for Queen Isabella, and 

 contains the following inscription : Tuan de la Cosa lafizo en el Puerto de 

 Santa Afaria en Anno de 1500. 



This reproduction is accompanied by a memoir on the same subject, written 

 by Dn. Fernander Duro, and published in the " Museo Espanol de Antigue- 

 dades."
