By the mid-16th century, according to Henry Yule, the editor of a modern (1921) edition of Polo's "Travels", some geographers and cartographers followed the error in older editions of Polo that "placed ... the land of "Boeach" (or Locac)" south-east of Java and "introduced in their maps a continent in that situation". Gerard Mercator did just that on his 1541 globe, placing "Beach provincia aurifera" ("Beach the gold-bearing province") in the northernmost part of the "Terra Australis" in accordance with the faulty text of Marco Polo's "Travels". The landmass of Beach remained in this location on Mercator's world map of 1569, with the amplified description, quoting Marco Polo, "Beach provincia aurifera quam pauci ex alienis regionibus adeunt propter gentis inhumanitatem" ("Beach the gold-bearing province, wither few go from other countries because of the inhumanity of its people") with "Lucach regnum" shown somewhat to its south west. Following Mercator, Abraham Ortelius also showed "BEACH" and "LVCACH" in these locations on his world map of 1571.
