Special regions, a, b, c, 1: 200,000. 



It appears from our inquiries that there is a real demand for large- 

 scale maps of special regions in the British Isles, which could best be 

 met by special editions for different populous areas. 



Junior School Atlas. 



In a Junior School Atlas for each Continent one map (physical, 

 with political boundaries shown in red) would meet all needs. Maps 

 4 and 5 would be combined ; also 8 and 9 (temperature and rainfall 

 only). For 26 and 27, India, China, and Japan (20 miUions) might 

 be substituted, and the following maps omitted, viz., 12, 15, 16, 17, 19, 

 21b, 22, 29a, and 30a, together with 18a if France were shown on 

 Map 14. 



The Committee is unable to make any recommendation with reference 

 to an Atlas for University use, feeling that a University student should 

 have access to and familiarity with a wider variety of maps than could 

 be included in one volume. 



Part II. 



Style and Dratightsmausliip. 



The chief criticisms of existing School Atlases are directed against 

 excess of names, impurity of colour, and indistinctness of lettering.
