Rh The remarks as to distances, in the southwest corner, are, of course, entirely erroneous. Also it should be noted that Cozumel (i.e., Cuzmil) and Las Mujeres are placed on the wrong side of the peninsula. One of the most interesting points about the map is that it gives Mani as “The city of the King.” This is undoubtedly a reference to the Tutul Xius whom we have mentioned in the body of this book.

1566? LANDA (see Plate V).
 * This smaller map is much like the foregoing one. But it fails to include such place names as Ychpa, Chicheniza, Mani, and so on. At the same time a slight improvement is to be noted in the location of Cozumel, though one is at a loss to account for the placing of Cape Catoch.

1570 ORTELIUS, THEATRUM ORBIS TERRARUM.
 * Shows Yucatan as a peninsula; calls Merida Atalaria, Cozumel Acasumal, etc.

1572 THOMASO PORCACCHI DA CASTIGLIONE, VENICE.
 * Has Yucatan as a peninsula.

1587 MERCATOR (Nord.).
 * Yucatan a peninsula named either Atalanta or Atalania (print indistinct).

1590 JOANNES MYRITIUS, OPUSCULUM GEOGRAPHICUM RARUM, INGOLDSTADT (Nord.).
 * Yucatan not named. There is a projecting territory which, because of a large bay running in from the north, looks not unlike a U. Possibly the bay is the Laguna de Terminos shown too large.

1603 GULIELMUS NICOLAI BELGA, GLOBE, LYONS (Müller Coll.).
 * Yucatan an island far from the mainland. Cozumel much too large and close to western end of Cuba.

1605 WILLEM JANSZOON BLAEU, WORLD MAP (original in Hispanic Museum, New York City).

 * Hispania Nova. Yucatan a peninsula, but not named.

1611 HONDIUS WORLD-MAP (E. S. L.).
 * General shape of Yucatan approximately correct. Tabasco is shown in the middle of the isthmus. Atalana in northeast corner of Yucatan.
