ANNUAL BEPORT. x1 
The following accounts, which have been received and adjusted, 
show the nett result of-the Society’s venture in printing and 
publishing this map; and it will be seen that, notwithstanding the 
fact that the ultimate cost (£167) of the 400 copies much exceeded 
Mr. Sranrorp’s original estimate, yet the Society’s outlay is 
already very nearly recouped, and 101 copies remain on hand for 
sale :

The Society’s aid has recently been solicited by the Govern- 
ment in getting together information for a text book of Geogra- 
phy, without which the map is of comparatively little use in our 
schools. The matter will be one for our successors to deal with 
finally in the present year. But it will not be out of place for us 
here to repeat what was said in our predecessors’ Report :— 
“This tracing will be of most service when it induces those who 
“travel to furnish corrections and additions as our knowledge of 
“the country extends. Probably not one-tenth part of the Penin- 
“sula has, even at the present time, been traversed by Europeans, 
“ and it becomes clear from the Geographical Notes, printed in each 
“successive Journal, that if the Peninsula’s Geography is ever to 
“be really known, explorations are required on a more comprehen- 
“sive scale than can be looked for in the occasional journals of 
“ district officers.”
