With the exception of Chapter XXIV (vol. 1) and Chapters VII, XI, XXVII & XXVIII (vol. 2), chapters are untitled. Therefore, the Table of Contents seen here lists the first item in each chapter header, in lieu of the absent title.
-
In volume 2, FitzRoy makes frequent references to his Appendix volume, but often omits the number and/or title of the item to which he refers. In the absence of this information, a footnote is inserted in this online edition in the format “xx: title,” where “xx” is the number in the Appendix Table of Contents. In cases where FitzRoy has added a simple “Appendix” footnote, this information is added [in brackets] to that footnote.
-
In several places, a few notes are given at the end of a chapter. As with the footnotes just described, each note now immediately follows the paragraph in which it is cited.
-
Text or sic [in brackets] inserted in this web edition either adds an apparently-missing word, or makes a minor editorial correction.

Some footnote citations to page numbers in “Sarmiento's Voyage” refer to the 1768 edition of Viage al Estrecho de Magallanes. Others—such as King's Chapter 3 (“See Burney, ii. p. 45, for a fuller account; also id. 71.”)— refer to a chapter in James Burney's 1806 Chronological History of Voyages:
- Chapter I: “Voyage of Sarmiento …” (pp. 3-44),
- Chapter II: “Expedition of Pedro Sarmiento … ” (pp. 45-57).
This online edition follows footnote citations to Viage … with a bracketed link to the equivalent text in Burney and/or in the Hakluyt 1895 English-language translation of the 1768 Spanish edition. For Burney, links are provided only for text within his Chapters 1 and 2.
