          (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 (Mueller Coll.).
        Yucatan an island far from the mainland. Cozumel much too large
      and close to western end of Cuba.
