2 In the thirteenth year of Kouan-young (1636), the island of Desima was set apart for the abode of the Barbarians of the south, who received permission to settle there for the purposes of commerce.

3 The first arrival of the Dutch in Japan, was in the seventh year of Khing-tchang (1602). Their privileges were confirmed to them by Gongin in 1609. Their establishment was afterwards removed to Nangasaki. This took place in the eighteenth year of Kouan-young (1641).

4 From the eastern to the southern angle the distance is thirty-five measures (of about eight Japanese feet); from the southern tot the western angle one hundred and eight; from the northern to the western angle thirty-five, and from the northern to the eastern angle ninety-six. [The measure here mentioned must be equal to about eight Japanese feet, since Kämpfer states the island of Desima to be six hundred feet long and two hundred and forty broad. That author assures us that he measered it himself, and found its greatest breadth to be eighty-two ordinary paces, and its extreme length two hundred and thirty-six.]
