Note on an early chart showing the tracks of Tasman's voyages in 1642 and 1644

The Government of Tasmania very liberally caused to be photo-lithographed a facsimile copy .which I had made of a chart showing the tracks of Tasman in his two voyages of of discovery in the years 1642 and 1644. The chart copied is in the Sloane Collection in the British Museum, and is marked on the back " Bibl. Sloan. 5222, 12. N.W. Closet 16." It is evidently a manuscript of the latter half of the 17th century, and was certainly copied by an Englishman, and probably from the original chart of Francz Jacobsz Visser, the chief pilot on board the Heemskirk on Tasman's first voyage, and captain and chief pilot of the Lemmen, Tasman's flagship in the expedition of 1644. A reduced map from the same chart is given in Major's "Early Voyages to Terra Australis," published in 1859 by the Hakluyt Society.
