Notes. For each constellation the columns give the sequence number C, the sequence number CK of the corresponding constellation in Kepler, the abbreviation we use, the number of stars in the constellation N, the sequence number of the first star in the constellation F, and the Dutch name as given by De Houtman. (The English translation of the constellation names is given by Knobel 1917.) Brackets () around CK indicate that the stars from the constellation in Houtman are listed in a different constellation in Secunda Classis. The twelve new constelllations are indicated with boldface.

(a)

A ninth star is decribed (“the extreme one of the tail of Scorpio”), but no position is given; we omit it from Houtman.
