MAP OF THE ORINOCO-ESSEOUIBO REGION, HANDED TO THE WEST INDIA COMPANY BY GOVERNOR STORM VAN'S GRAVESANDE, JUNE 22, 1750. 



REPRODUCED FROM THE MANUSCRIPT COPY ON PARCHMENT IN THE RIJKSARCHIEF AT THE HAGUE, No. 1498 OF THE CATALOGUE. 



SIZE OF ORIGINAL 8.5 X 6.9 INCHES. 



Note.— Governor Storm declared this Map handed in by him to be a copy of one made by the Spaniards. The present map is clearly not only a copy, but a translation into Dutch. As its handwriting is not that of Storm, 

 van 's Oravesande. and as names are mispelled in a way impossible to him, it is somewhat doubtful whether it is that actually handed in by him or only copied from it. Map No. 5 of the British Blue Boole 

 "Venezuela No. 1, 1896, Appendix III," is a reproduction of this Map, from a, manuscript copy dated 1887.
