Note Inscribed Alongside Map (French / Dutch)

La Partie du Sud Est de cette Isle comprise entre la Riviere de Mandreray et celle d'Antavare demande un detail particulier qu'on ne pu insérer ici en le trouve dans la Carte du St. De Flacourt publiée en 1656.

't Zuid-ooster Deel deezea Eilands, vervat tussen de Rivieren Mandreray en Antavares, eischt meer Byzonderheid dan de Plaats hier toelaat. Men vind dezelfde, in de Kaart, Ao 1656 door Flecourt uitgegeeven.
