| Note | "Note. This miniature map is the result of a foot-march with compass in hand, checked by Lunar observations at Mininga only. and everywhere else by Latitude observation. Compass-variation has been regarded, and nothing remains to perfect the Map, but to shift the Longitudinal lines if required by other Lunar observations. The boundaries of countries are inserted to give a general view of their extent. J SS Speke Captain 26th February 1863. |
