The text immediately above the six hemispheres remains the same while the figure numbers and the text below the maps has been added. Note above California on the large map states: “La Californie passe pour pres qu’ Isle, et pour tenir a la Terre Ferme.” A Paris. Ches le Sr. Robert Geographe Ord. du Roy.
