Note:
These sheet belongs to an atlas, or rather a group of unfinished 8 loose sheets, attributed to Diogo Homem; making it his work about which more has been written. Even not signed the work is clearly Homem's and is actually one which presents features not found in any other in his vast series of works. It is in fact the only work where he uses Portuguese and Latin, the former he never once used it again in any other of his works, even though it was his native language. This is the most complete chart of the atlas and depicts the East Pacific Ocean with the west coast of South America and South of Cuba with part of the Caribbean Sea.

The rhumb lines for the principal winds are in black, the half-winds in green and the quarter-winds in red.
