Note:
This Portolan chart is typical of the Dutch cartography of the 17th century with Portuguese influence. On it are depicted the South China Sea and part of the Celebes Sea. On the left there is Vietnam East coast with the Paracels in the Vaz Dourado type, although with the triangular set on its northeast side that started to emerge on Dutch maps by the mid-16th century. It is also represented the north of Borneo and western of the Philippines Islands, Palawan -named 'Paragoa', the unnamed Mindoro, and Luçon -named Lucon.
