= From J.W. HEYDT, Allerneuester Geographische- und Topographischer Schau-platz, von Africa und Ost-Indien (Wilhelmsdorf, 1744). The island Pulau Damar near Djakarta was called Edam by the Dutch East Indies Company. It was used as a penal island, but in 1690 the ownership went to Johannes Camphuys when he retired as governor-general of the VOC.
