con also indicates the time of origin of the other six sheets. 
ajolo is situated in the papal dominions, and a Jacobus de 
Majolo condam Vesconti, probably a son of the one mentioned 
above, presents himself as the author of a chart: ‘‘Janua anno 
Domini 1551 die 19 marsi.” The chart taken from this atlas 
by Kunstmann commences on the American continent with the 
coast of Honduras, upon which the Rio de Cama Roma (Cape 
Cameron), and the Bay of Xagoa, both discovered in 1508, are 
nam esides these the four great Antilles are noted upon 
it and a considerable number of smaller islands. The South 
American continent is also already drawn out up to the Cape of 
St. Maria and is richly furnished with names. 
The following charts belong to a period after Magalhaens’s 
voyage. Sheets six and seven are taken from an atlas of thir- 
teen charts, which is kept in the Library of the University, and 
which can only have been drawn after the year 1534, as Cuzco 
is mentioned in it. 
The sixth sheet commences at the eastern coast of America 
with the terra ‘che descobrio steuen comes,” i. e., the country 
which Estevan Gomez had discovered in 1525. It contains the 
1 wados, i. e., the coasts of Pennsylvania, Virginia 
and Carolina, which the Licentiates Lueas Vasquez de Aillon 
and Matienzo are supposed to have already discovered in 1520; 
and also Mexico under the name Temistitan vel Misicho ;—the 
central American coast, near which Yucatan is represented as an 
island ;—the Antilles and the northern coast of South America. 
In the south, we perceive Magalhaens’s Strait (Strictum de 
Magellano) with the harbor of St. Julian and Fireland, and 
from the western coast of America is seen a continuous stretch 
of Colao Provintia and Peru Provintia in the south, up to Cali 
fornia in the north, which latter is represented as a peninsula. 
In the remoter part of the Pacific Ocean, several of the east 
Asiatic islands are noted as Dshilolo, Timor, Sumatra, and on 
eastern side of Asia, Bengala Civitas and China Civitas. 
The seventh sheet, taken from the same atlas, represents the 
countries on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean: the eastern coast 
of America from Newfoundland (terra de bacalaos) in the north, 
to Magalhaens’s Strait, inclusive of that part of the Brazilian 
coast which is wanting on the former chart, and the coast of La 
Plata south to the Strictum de Magellano and the northern coast 
of the Fireland with the Campana de Roldan, which is called 
ter a German companion of Magalhaens. As on the former 
sheet so also here the west coast of Patagonia and the coast of 
Chile are wanting. 
_ The sheets eight to twelve are taken from the atlas of Vaz 
Dourado, the original of which with the year 1571 is found in 
the Archives at Lisbon. The Royal Library at Munich
