Mayen ledsages af et "Pas-caert van Jan Mayen Eylant".
I den benyttede Udgave mangler desværre et Blad. paa
hvilket Beskrivelsen af Øens Nordside skulde være at finde.
En noget forkortet Oversættelse af denne Beskrivelse til
Tysk. som Professor Buijs Ballot i Utrecht har havt den
Godhed at sende mig. slutter imidlertid med deu
Bemerkning. at Beskrivelsen a.f Nordsiden mangler. Forøvrigt
beskrives i dette gamle Verk Østkysten helt fra Nordostkap
sydover og Vestkysten fra Sydkap nordover indtil
Nordvestkap. Kartet, der aabenbart er det som ligger til Grund
for alle de senere Karter over Jan Mayen, forekommer
mig i sine Hovedtræk at være lige saa godt som disse.

Det Kart. som ledsager Vogts Beskrivelse, er en
Copi af Scoresby’s Kart. Det indeholder en Del
Forbedringer. men er paa den anden Side. navnlig i hydrografisk
Henseende, mindre fuldstændigt og correct end de ældre
Karter. Derimod have de Billeder af Partier af Jan
Mayen, der ledsage Vogt’s Verk. været mig af overordentlig
stor Nytte, og for deres store Paalidelighed kan jeg
inde-staa. Endog mindre Træk i Landskabet har jeg efter disse
Billeder kunnet identificere.
Til Grund for Constructionen af vort Kart er lagt
Scoresby’s. Efter de af os foretagne Pejlinger’ og andre
Vinkelmaalinger har Capt. "Wille gjort et Udkast til Kystens
Form, og anbragt derved de hydrografiske Detaljer fra vore
Iagttagelser, saa langt de rak. og fra Scoresby. Efter det
Material, som stod til min Raadighed, heri indbefattet en
Række Skitser af Hr. Schiertz. vor Tegner, Professor Sars
og mig selv, har jeg forsøgt at aflægge yderlige hydrografiske
Detaljer, dels efter "Zeespiegel". idet jeg fandt, at
Beskrivelsen og Kartet i dette var rigtigere end i de senere Verker,
dels ved Hjelp af Skitserne, efter hvilke’ jeg kunde bestemme
noget sikrere enkelte Partiers indbyrdes Beliggenhed, navnlig
i Forbindelse med de verticale Dimensioner. Situationen

edition I have consulted, the leaf on which an account of
the north coast of the island might have been looked for.
is unfortunately missing. A somewhat abridged translation
of this work into German, which Professor Buijs Ballot of
Utrecht had the kindness to send me. closes.’however, with
the remark, that no account has been given of the north
side. For the rest, in • this old volume the east coast is
described from Cape North-East southwards, and the west
coast, from Cape South northwards to Cape North-West.
The map, which is manifestly that on which all later maps
of Jan Mayen are based, would appear in its main features
to be quite as correct as any of these.

found nothing in this work that is not contained in the

information.
3. — An Account of the Arctic Regions ... by
W. Scoresby Jun. F. R. S. E. Edinburgh 1820. Scoresby’s
map is based on Zorgdragers, which in turn is evidently
derived from the old map in the "Zee-spiegel.’’ The position
of the island has, indeed, been rectified by Scoresby; but in
all details the old map is still the most trustworthy.

The map annexed to Vogt’s account of the Island is
a copy of Scoresby’s. It is. indeed, in some respects more
correct, tut in others, more particularly as regards the
hydrographical details, less complete and trustworthy than
the earlier maps. On the other hand, the views of the
Island accompanying Vogts work have rendered me the
greatest service; and for their accuracy, which is
remarkable. I can personally vouch. Even minor features of the
scenery, I have been able to identity from these excellent
illustrations.
Our map of Jan Mayen is based on Scoresby’s. From
the various bearings and other measured angles, Captain
Wille has figured the contours of the coast, and set’down.
so far as possible, the hydrographical details, from our
own observations and those of Scoresby. After a careful
study of the material collected, including numerous
sketches by Mr. Schiertz, artist to the Expedition.
Professor Sars, and myself, I have sought to fill in further
hydrographical details, partly since I find the account and
map in the "Zeespiegel" to be more correct than are any
of those given in later works on Jan Mayen, and partly
with a view to determine, by means of the sketches, with
greater accuracy the relative position of divers parts of
