In some instances the sheets have been cut apart forming eight instead of four maps, and as the margins are wide, these were probably taken from a large paper copy, c. 36. Page 1.

40. Map of the Philippine Islands (v. 34) of the Coasts of China, etc. Camus and Brunet do not appear to have observed that this has the names in Portuguese and not in Spanish. Camus describes the halves as belonging to different parts-see his sections 34 and 40. The whole map is on two large sheets, and belongs to Da Motta's Navigation to the East Indies, as may be seen in the notice to that Part (v. 33). In one the maps have the verso blank, a. b. c.-- others have Arabic genealogies on verso, C. Some are more finished than the others, and sometimes one portion is more finished than the other. These differences are most marked in those without genealogies. In a and b they are finished, in c partly. finished and unfinished.

Of these maps, a has No. 1 in 3d condition, No. 2 in 2d condition.— b has No. 1 in 2d condition, No. 2 in 3d condition.-c has No. 1 in 4th condition and in 2d condition with genealogies.

50. Account of the voyage of the Dutch Ambassadors to Pekin four leaves unnumbered. There are two Errata on part of the last page, and beneath a portion of the Privilege dated 25 October, 1664, to Girard Garnier. Camus says that this notice relates as much to the last piece of Volume I (v. No. 46) as to the first piece of the second volume (No. 51) for according to the pagination, the two pieces form a single part, one ending on page 30 and the other beginning on page 31. a. b. c.

53. In Huet's copy, the route of the Ambassadors to Pekin follows immediately the voyage of the Ambassadors (No. 51) which is its proper place. It is sometimes found

after the History of China. In a and bit precedes the Voyage, in c it comes after it.

54. Route of the Dutch to Pekin begins on page I and finishes on page 28. These two pages 1 and 28 are not numbered a. b. c. The signatures vary very much. On page 28, Grammar of the language of the Tartars, probably incomplete. V. Camus, page 339.
