Abstract
THE last edition of this atlas was published in 1909 and is now out of date in many respects. The present edition has two more plates than the old, the additions being an extra map of the distribution of crops, thus allowing twelve crops instead of eight to be shown, and one of Bihar and Orissa. Considerable changes have been made in the archaeological sketch map, in the plate showing economic minerals and in the numerous town plans, and all the maps have been revised. In addition to the twenty-nine plates of general distributional maps, there are nineteen plates showing the whole of British India, the native States and Burma on a scale of 1 to 4,000,000. Afghanistan is shown on a small scale. There is a lengthy index.
