Note:

Bartolomeu Velho was a Portuguese cosmographer and cartographer who entered the service of France towards the end of his life. He held a unique place in Portuguese 16th century cartography in the dual capacity of cosmographer and cartographer and no other Portuguese cartographic works of said century are known that achieve the same range and precision. This chart is part of a total of four charts depicting the whole world that do not join perfectly together on the lateral margins, but rather overlap with common strips, which makes some regions appear twice. This chart of the Indian Ocean is notorious for it geographical detail of many of the regions and the up-to-date information. Contrary to the generality of the Portuguese charts of its time, which have a purely nautical character, with interior of the Continents filled with ornamental motives, this depicts rivers, mountains, people, regions, etc. with up-to-date character, using details of the period and reducing the classical elements to a minimum. On China it can be seen a lake with the note 'City of Sansin which was flooded, with 7 cities and 153 villages, in the year 1557'. The lake appears further inland with similar legends on the China chart by Luís Jorge de Barbuda (fl. 1575-1584) and on Petrus Plancius (1552-1622) planisphere of 1604. The Great Wall of China is intertwined with the mountains between China and Tartary. Japan is depicted with outline and nomenclature very similar to that of the 'Teixeira type', although with totally different orientation. Yezo is here recorded for the first time.

There are three vessels in gold, each one on a blue circle on the south coast of Africa. A banderole describes the 1497 voyage of Vasco da Gama (ca. 146--1524) with a representation of a soldier with a Cross of the Order of Christ on its armor, a sword on the right hand and a Portuguese flag on the left. There are nine coats of arms of Portugal scattered on many countries in Africa and Asia. There are eight 32-point compass roses on the map. The smaller ones have an arrow indicating north and the bigger one a fleur de lis. The first are colored red, blue and green and the latter in red, blue, green and gold. The rhumb lines for the principal winds are black, for the half winds green and the quarter winds red. It can be seen eight red stars of the zodiac with the nomenclature in blue.
