This chart depicts the South China Sea and part of the Celebes Sea. There is the South China coast with the Hainan Island; on the left the Vietnam East coast, with the Paracels as a grainy inset and some islands on the northwest side, with 'The Triangles' or 'S.t Anthony Girdle or the Brole' on its northeast side. It is also represented the western side of the Philippines Islands, Palawan -Balagant-, Mindoro -Mindovo-, and Luzon -Lucon. Up north it is included the island of Taiwan still named 'Formosa'. This is the first map to feature the English name 'Scarborough Shoal' connected to the small inset west of Manilla.
