Abstract
THE significance of the distribution of a species or group of species is often best appreciated by map-plotting. To simplify and encourage this method, an octavo map has been prepared showing the counties and vice-counties of Great Britain as delimited for the Watsonian botanical scheme. The areas are numbered so clearly that no confusion can arise, and the key to the numbers is printed alongside the map. Two series have been prepared one is printed in black, in the other the county outlines, numbers, and list are printed in blue, so that although perfectly legible in ordinary use, they will disappear when photographed for reproduction. The maps may be obtained from Messrs. Oliver and Boyd, Tweedale Court, Edinburgh, at a cost which runs from £1 3s. a hundred to £2 2s. a thousand for the all black, and £1 11s. 6d. a hundred to £3 a thousand for the black and blue.
