      named.

1512  PTOLEMY, ED. JOANNES DE STOBINICZA, Cracow (Nord.).
        America indicated but not named.

1514  LODOVICUS BOULENGER (Nord.).
        America shown by name and called "Nova reperta."

1515  GREGORIUS REISCH, STRASSBURG (Nord.).
        No Yucatan.

1516  WALDSEEMUeLLER.
        See 1507.

1516-20  MUNICH-PORTUGUESE.

1519  MAGGIOLO.
        See 1527.

1520  PETRUS APIANUS (Nord.).
        Has no Yucatan.

1523-25 TURIN-SPANISH (E. L. S.).[A3.2]
        The general outline of Yucatan is recognizable. There is a gap
      on the south of Yucatan where the isthmus should be. All the
      names save Cozumel are wrong.

1527 MAGGIOLO (E. L. S.).
        The shape of Yucatan is all wrong, and Yucatan is shown as a
      rather small island far from the mainland. No names.

1527  WEIMAR-SPANISH (E. L. S.).
        Yucatan a peninsula. Isthmus is roughly drawn and too narrow,
      "gotoche" (Catoche), "y. demuJeres" (Isla de Mujeres), and
      "cocumel" (Cozumel), etc. At the isthmus is a name which possibly
      may be Ytza; it is very indistinct.

1528 ? BENEDETTO BORDONE, VINEGIA (Nord.).
        Has no Yucatan.

1529  RIBERO (E. L. S.).
        Has Yucatan as a large island near to the mainland, with
      Hihueras (Higueras = Honduras) correctly located.

1529  VERRAZANO (E. L. S.).
        Has the general outlines of Yucatan approximately correct, but
      there is a large gap at the southern part.

1525-30  WOLFENBUeTTEL-SPANISH (E. L. S.).
        Yucatan a large island very close to the mainland. Cf. Ribero,
      1529.

1530  VERRAZANO'S GLOBE.
        Shows Yucatan as an island.

1530 ?  ANONYMOUS CARTA DE LAS ANTILLAS, SENO MEJICANO Y COSTAS DE
          TIERRA FIRMA. CARTAS DE INDIAS 1877.
        Yucatan is shown as a peninsula. Merida does not appear.
      Campeche is written "Campeci," and Mexico "Mesico." It seems to
      be a map of the same period as the Weimar-Spanish, 1527.

1531  ORONTIUS FINAEBUS (Nord.).
        Yucatan (called Iucatanus) shown as an island.

1532  SIM. GRYNAEUS NOVUS ORBIS, BASILEAE (Nord.).
        Cuba and America confused. Yucatan not named, but indicated as
      a part of Cuba, which lies where Mexico should. There is a break
      in the isthmus.

1534 ?  MALARTIC PORTOLAN.
         Has Yucatan as an island far from mainland with a dense
      archipelago instead of an isthmus.

1534  PETRUS MARTYR, VINEGIA (Nord.).
        Yucatan an island with dense archipelago in lieu of isthmus.

1536  MERCATOR.
        Yucatan a peninsula.

1538  GERARDUS MERCATOR (Nord.).
        Yucatan named and an island.

1539? PORTULAN OF CHARLES V, IN WIENER, 1875.
        Has Yucatan a round island a good way from mainland on three
      different maps.

1540  PTOLEMY, BASEL (Nord.).
