This is a French hydrographic chart of the South China Sea made accordingly to the latest observations of Rosili. The French Vice Admiral spent seven years doing hydrographic work in the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean and the seas off China. In the chart are depicted the northeastern part of the China Sea, with the Pearl River delta, part of the coast of southern China, the Hainan Island, the coast of Vietnam and part of the coast of Cambodia. The Paracel Islands, and other islets and reefs are also present with the route from the frigate Calypso in 1788, commanded by the Count de Kergariou.
