[1] This name refers to Spitzbergen, which was then called Greenland,
and which was thought by the voyagers of the day to be connected with
Greenland proper. The early maps show Spitzbergen, which they term
"Greenland or Spitzbergen," with Bell and Horn Sounds on the west
coast and Cherie Island, named after Sir Francis Cherie, a few miles
to the south. The country was also sometimes called East Greenland,
while the modern Greenland was termed "Groenland." See especially the
map of 1613 in _Amer. Antiquarian Society Transactions_, iv, 314; the
map in Edward Pelham's _God's Power and Providence_, 1631, reproduced
in _A Collection of Documents on Spitzbergen and Greenland_ (Hakluyt
Society), 1855; and map no. xiv in H. Moll's _World Described,
1708-20_.
