The interesting little folding chart, marked No. 5, is now in the
possession of Jhr. J. E. Huydecoper van Maarsseveen en Nigtevegt, LL. D.,
at Utrecht. It is bound up with the said gentleman's copy of Abel

given in the first issue were retained, while numerous corrections were
made in the chart itself.

discovery of Eendrachtsland was known at Nuremberg.
