Quotation from: The Part Borne by the Dutch in the Discovery of Australia 1606-1765

Written by: J.E. Heeres

_Hessel Gerritsz-Huydecoper Chart (No. 5.--VII D)._

This chart has 't land van Pieter Nuijts (discovered January 26 [*],
1627) and the islands of Sint Francois and Sint Pieter.

[* Some of the charts have February, but most of them January. This month
is also mentioned as the time of the discovery in the instructions for
Pool (1636, see _infra_) and for Tasman (1644). Cf. my Life of Tasman,
pp. 97f.]
