Hmm, I had never heard of such a continent, Gwaihir, but upon checking Karen Wynn Fonstad's Atlas of Middle-Earth, it does distinctly show on the world map an entirely separate continent, the Dark Lands, separated from the eastern coasts of the Hither Lands by the East Sea. Interesting that you sould say the Professor considered this the "supposed origin of the Americas." I shall have to look into this further.
