866 REPORT—1896. 
and—most important of all—to make clear the connection between the physio- 
graphy and the anthropogeography of a region. 
The map shown is an attempt in this direction. 
It is reduced from the One-inch Ordnance Map (1 : 63860) to the scale of 
1:100000, with contours at intervals of 200 feet. On it are inserted all 
detached houses, and all villages and towns shown on the Ordnance Map. Of 
course a map of this kind does not show the actual number of persons living 
on a given area. But it does show clearly various facts which are much more 
interesting to the geographer than mere numerical strength. 
It shows the distribution of human settlements, and it shows how that distri- 
bution has been influenced by physical features. It shows the different nature of 
the settlements in industrial districts and in agricultural districts. It brings out 
clearly the facts that go to make a great seaport. It even enables us by a study of 
the shape of villages and towns to get an idea of the circumstances to which they 
owe their origin, and makes clear many other facts which are masked by the 
amount of detail shown on the Ordnance Map.
