CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: South Africa [And the Island of Madagascar]

This map reflects the limited state of European knowledge of southern Africa at the time, while nevertheless incorporating much detail. Many regions have been left blank, or details and names are shown in a lighter print and with dotted lines to reflect uncertainty or hypothesis. The courses of numerous rivers appear to be conjectural. Parts of the Zambesi are clearly marked with solid lines; other parts are marked in lighter dotted lines - the combined river as marked incorporates a circuit, which is clearly impossible. Lakes Malawi "Maravi or Nyanja" and Tanganyika are named separately but shown as a single body of water
