Abstract
SINCE its foundation in 1767, officers and surveayors of the Survey of India have accompanied every military expedition with which India has been connected. In order to provide a reserve of surveyors for war it has been the policy, as in most other countries, to employ army officers during peace time on the ordinary mapping of the country, so that they may be available at the outbreak of war to provide maps always required during the progress of military operations, though never so much as under the conditions which obtain to-day.
