position to form some idea of at least the principal features of the work through an edition 

 on a smaller scale, dated four years after the original with the title Orbis Terrarum 

 Typus de integro multis in locis emendatus auctore Petro Plancio 1594} We may assume 

 t hat the alterations shown by this map with regard to the islands in the Pacific also occurred 

 in the map of 1592. Whether the alterations were found amongst the cartographical 

 material that Plancius bought from Lasso, or whether they arose out of Plancius' revision 

 of this material, I am unable to determine. 2

1 The map, engraved by Job. a Duetecum juuior, was first publisbed two years låter by tbe printer 

 Cornelis Claeszoon as au appendix to Jan Huyghen van Linscboteifs Intinerario, Amsterdam 1596. Another 

 edition, witbout Plancius' name and without the year of publication, exists with the title Orbis Terrce com- 

 pendiosa descriptio ex peritissimorum totius orbis geographorum operibus desumta (Antverpiae apud Ioannem 

 Baptistam Vrient). According to P. A. Tiele, this last is the original edition (The Voyage of J. H. van 

 Linschoten to the East Indies, Lond. Hakluyt Soc. 1885, I, p. xxxi). The same map of Plancius is also 

 copied on a globe belonging to the Musée du Steen at Antwerp; see F. Van Ortroy, Un précieux globe terrestre 

 en cuivre janne construit par Pierre Plancius (Annales de 1'Acad. R. d'archéologie de Belgique. Sér. 5, T. I, 

 Anvers 1899, pp. 477—488). 



2 Perhaps this question can be solved by access to the maps that Dr. Wieder has recently found in 

 the University Library at Amsterdam, and amongst which he thinks that he can recognize some of the special 

 charts mentioned in Plancius' map of the world. Wieder, Op. cit., p. 13.
