Abstract
COL. R. A. WAUHOPE, whose death is announced, was, perhaps, better known for the splendid quality of his practical work at map-making on the Indian frontier (and beyond it) than for researches into those branches of geodetic science which form the special objective of that section of the Indian Survey Department which is centred in Dehra Dun. He was one of the first and best of those surveyors who reformed the antiquated methods of geographical reconnaissance and proved that sound square mapping may be evolved on precisely the same principles of triangulation and topography in the field of an expedition or a campaign as govern the output of Ordnance mapping in the quiet fields of home survey.
