Tolkien's draft clearly suggests that Middle-earth subsequently formed the continents of Europe, Africa and Asia. To this extent the maps in David Day's book match up. But those maps seem to make the mistake of portraying the Dark Land and the Sunlands as two separate continents, whereas they appear to be one and the same on JRRT's draft.

So, I wonder where David Day (or whoever drew the maps in his book) got the idea that there were two continents in addition to Middle-earth, rather than just the one portrayed in Tolkien's draft?
