Reading edition

Journal, 1873) on “The Site of the Lost Colony of Greenland determined, and the pre-Columbian discoveries of America confirmed, from fourteenth century documents,” used the Zeno account and map in connection with Ivan Bardsen’s Sailing Directions in placing the missing colony near Cape Farewell. Major epitomized his views on the question in Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., Oct., 1874. Sir H. C. Rawlinson commented on Major’s views in his address before the Royal Geog. Society (Journal, 1873, p. clxxxvii).
