Kashnor notes, "North America appears in a very remarkable form. An immense bay is shown immediately north of California, out of which the imaginary 'Strait of Annian' opens in a north-easterly direction, and continues into Hudson's Bay, forming the 'North-West Passage.' The following note is appended: 'It is believed by some that by the Straights of Anian there may be a communication between the South and North Sea, but no person hath ventured the Navigation therof but have only discovered the Entrance of it.' There is no trace of another impression." A second "Inconu Gulf" appears running parallel to the Gulf of California from near San Diego.
