Discovery of America. 421 
The second chart represents the notions of that period in 
which North America was believed to —s of a number of 
islands between which, it was hoped, a passage might be found 
to the Molluccas. We find here the “Terra det Corte Reall” com- 
pletely separated and the terra de lanorador tae as a 
complete island. North of Great Britain the ‘Terra de Ures- 
land” (Vresland, Frisland) is situated, a name hin according 
to Zahrtmann is derived from Ferris land as English mariners 
called the Faroes. Besides this, the sheet contains the West 
Indies (le Antilie) the northern and part of the eastern coast of 
South America, the latter up to Rio de Cananor, as according to 
Peschel, it is often wri ritten instead of Rio de Cananea, on the 
i charts published since 1507, which were copied after 
te the third chart, which only marks the discoveries of the 
Portuguese, of which the Spaniards take no notice, Labrador, (or 
Groenland, and the “Terra de Corte Reall” appear also as sepa- 
rate continents in accordance with the discoveries of C. Cortereal 
in his two voyages in the years 1500 and 1501. As a third con-

by the coast-voyage in the year 1501, in which Amerigo Ves- 
pucci took part. 
The fourth chart represents North ste Labrador, New- 
foundland under the name Bacalnaos instead of Bacalhaos, and 
the country of Corte Real as all three separated from one an- 
other by straits. In Central America the Peninsula of Yucatan 
appears, and the chart must therefore have been finished after the — 
year 1517. Honduras with the islands lying before the same, 
the Isthmus with the Pacific coast, the latter however without 
nomenclature, and finally the West India Islands, The South 
American coast, richly furnished with names, extends southerly 
over the R. Cananea up to C. Santa Maria, comprising a region 
which was not drawn upon the —< sheet, which however in 
¢ Kunstmann’s ropitien — disco ered already i in the year 1501 ; 
want of space. Here the Moluccan pape are noted with we 
addition: ‘“ilhas de maluqua donde vem ho cravo.” The flee 
which Albuquerque had sent out to open the trade with tle 
Moluccan Islands, first reached them early in the year 1512. 
The fifth sheet has been taken from an atlas which consists of
