Is'otbiiig farther is said of the situation of these Islands : the dale is not given, nor can it be inferred from any thing subsequent. Islands with the nnine of Caspar Uico are laid down in the Spanish eiiarts of the Pacific Ocean, and in some tables, between the 15th and i6th degrees of North latitude, and about 46 degrees East from the Emhocadero de San Bernardino ; and no other lands appear in the charts between Ncza Sjmiii and the Ladrones that will in any degree correspond in situation >v...ith tlie Islands seen in this passage by tlie Dgtch ships. The date of the discovery of the Islands Caspar Rico, or on what authority they are laid down in the Sj)anish charts has not been met with. The name of Jaspar Rico appears among the pilots who sailed with lluy Lopez de Villalobos ; but neither in the navigation of Villalobos, nor of the ship San Juan, which twica attempted the passage from the Fhilippine Islands to New Sjiain, were an}- Islands discovered near the situation in which the Caspar Rico Islands are laid down, and which is not in the track of ships from the F/iilippiues to New Spain.
