Note 1337 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

Gali’s letter is in Hakluyt, vol. iii. p. 526, copied from Linschoten. Cf. inscription on the Molineaux map of 1600 in this History, Vol. III. p. 80, and Bancroft, California, vol. i. p. 94. The map which Gali is thought to have made is not now known (Kohl, Maps in Hakluyt, 61). Bancroft says that Gali’s mention of Cape Mendocino is the earliest, but it is not definitely known by whom that prominent point was first named.
