Abstract
MANY of the older readers of NATURE will remember the thrills of excitement when the latest traveller returned to Great Britain with the story of some great discovery, but with a very meagre little map, as the secrets of the surface of the world were gradually unfolded. That epoch is now ended, but the art of surveying and of the making of maps continues to improve.
