Collector's note: Iceland, British Isles, part of Scandinavia, all of France, parts of Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Spain are shown. There are 49 characters to indicate minerals. The phrase in upper margin of the maps, " Collect Acad. Part. Fr. Tom. XIII, Pl. " mark this as the second state; the map is otherwise the same as the first state.

Buache drafted three more mineralogical maps for Guettard all dated 1752: Switzerland; Middle East; Northeastern North America.
