Note:
This is a sea chart of the South China Sea, Gulf of Thailand and Sulu Sea. The map is bordered on the west by the Mainland from 'Churasu' northeast of Guangzhou (Canton) to the tip of the Malay Peninsula and on the east by the islands of Borneo, Palawan (Isle de Pargoa), Calamian (I. de Colimines) and Luzon (Luçon). The coastline at the bottom of the Gulf of Thailand appears interrupted. Characteristic of nautical charts the map has most toponyms in inshore areas with the interior mainly blank and with a number of soundings given, specially near the coast and around islands and islets. Even though this chart seems to be from the end of the 17th century and beginning of the 18th the number of toponyms is quite scarce and the place name Macau is even missing on this chart. However, the Paracels are already depicted with the triangle, here named 'Lunettes' on its northeast corner.
