"The eminent Swedish geographer and cartographer Daniel Djurberg, published many geographical general works and charts. He introduced the Maori name ´Ulimaroa´ (Hawkesworth!) as a name for the Australian continent. This strange denomination seems to have appeared for the first time in a book by Djurberg printed in Stockholm in 1776. The map of Polynesia appeared in Stockholm in 1780, a German edition was issued in Vienna in 1789, and in 1790 a revised edition of the original was published in Stockholm. The routes of Cook´s voyages are copied on these three charts." (Du Rietz, 1960).
