Outline of the continent is well observed. Sri Lanka is named Zaylon; Tabrobana has lent its name to to Sumatra. Java appears in two islands. Korea and Japan are absent. India Superior extends off the page, giving way to the belief that the New World was connected to Asia. An archipelago of 7448 islands lies of the Eastern coast.
