Localities of geological interest are often vaguely cited as " near ** 

 fiuch a town. To define precisely the position, reference should be 

 made to a standard map ; and the author proposes a method to supersede 

 the common practice of dividing a map into squares, with reference- 

 letters and figures on the margins. He divides the left-hand and lower 

 sides of the map into centimetres, numbering them from the upper left 

 comer uninterruptedly to the lower right corner. A slip of paper is 

 then divided into centimetres, and hinged to the upper right-hand 

 corner of the map, the point of rotation being zero. Exact references 

 are got by combining the numbers on the margin and on the diagonal 

 slip. F. W. R.
