Abstract
THE vector map of a projection of the cyclol structure C2 prepared by D. P. Riley and I. Fankuchen1 provides elaborate illustrations of the rudiments of map theory. Particularly is it to be noticed that the weaker of the two peaks in the map is not the projection of a peak which could be observed in an equally coarse vector map of the skeleton in three dimensions. In this respect, the diagram illustrates a distinction between dominant features of a crude map and precise details of a complete map: in a complete map of a projection, every point against which there is an entry is necessarily the projection of some point in space against which there is an entry in the complete three-dimensional map.
