The revision of the Cadastral Survey of England and 

 Wales on the 2 * 00 scale, which was begun in 1894, has now 

 been taken up in all the counties of England and Wales which 

 were surveyed more than twenty years ago. 



The revision of the following counties is still in progress — 

 viz., Cambridge, Cardigan, Dorset, Gloucester, Montgomery, 

 Salop, Stafford, Worcester and York (West Riding), while 

 the revision of the following counties has been completed : — 

 Anglesey, Bedford, Berks, Bucks, Carnarvon, Chester, 

 Cumberland, Denbigh, Derby, Durham, Essex, Flint, 

 Glamorgan, Hants, Hertford, Hunts, Kent, London' 

 Merioneth, Middlesex, Monmouth, Northampton, North- 

 umberland, Notts, Oxford, Surrey, Sussex, Westmorland, 

 Wilts. Maps on the scale of six inches to a mile, reduced 

 from the -05V0 scale, are published as the revision proceeds. 

 With regard to the maps on the one inch scale, the whole of 

 England "and Wales has been revised on the ground since 

 1893, and the maps have been engraved and published. The 

 general result obtained by the revision is that there is now, 

 for the first time, available to the public a one inch outline 

 map prepared on one uniform system and with its principal 

 details nearly up to date. The issue of this map in colour is 

 being proceeded with, and is nearly completed for the South 

 of England and Wales. It has been commenced in the North 

 of England. The engraving of the maps on the scale of four 

 miles to an inch is in progress, and it is proposed to publish 

 cheap county maps on this scale with the main roads 

 coloured, to be sold at 6d. each, or 9a. if folded in a cover.
