Footnote 6: See the note, p. 32. Footnote 7: The word Survey is not here to be understood in its literal sense. Surveying a place, according to my idea, is taking a geometrical plan of it, in which every place is to have its true situation, which cannot be done in a work of this nature. Footnote 8: See Quiros’s Voyage, in Dalrymple’s Collection, vol. i. p. 136, 137. Footnote 9: See Vol. III. Footnote 10: See the note at p. 32. of this volume.

Footnote 19: See Don Antonio d’Ulloa’s Book, vol. ii. chap. 3. page 95 to 102, where there is a very particular account of this island. Footnote 20: Ulloa says, that the chart places this island sixty leagues from the coast of Brazil; and that the Portuguese pilots, who often make the voyage, judge it to be eighty leagues; but, by taking the mean between the two opinions, the distance may be fixed at seventy leagues.
