s importance by exhibiting it in aplace of honour, in the exhibition room of the Public Record Office. It would greatly please those American visitorswho are interested in the early history of their country, if the Directors would exhibit also the Figurative Map ofAdriaen Block, of 1614, which now lies hidden in one of the map-cases in the stack-room. This is, I believe,largely due to Brodheads mistake in connecting the Figurative Map of Cornells Hendricks (on paper) withthe document of October II, 1614, thus making it the oldest map of New Netherland, and giving the secondplace to the vellum map, although, in reality, the latter is the older of the two. It is true, Brodhead found themaps attached to the wrong documents, as he indicates in an Appendix to his History of the State of New York,but, on the copies made from the maps, and published in the New York Colonial Documents, he adheres, forsome unexplained reason, to their faulty location in the Archives. ?\ PLATES 23-24 C.
