Abstract
A USEFUL chart of the world showing all the great French voyages of exploration from the fifteenth to the early nineteenth century is included in the issue of La Géographie for July-August 1931. The chart, originally prepared by M. H. Roussilhe and L. Bergelin for the Exposition Internationale d'Anvers in 1930, is based on the original itineraries and charts of the voyages concerned, and though on a comparatively small scale, is remarkably clear. An old-world appearance is given to it by various reproductions of vessels of the periods of different voyages, taken from contemporary sources and suitably placed on the oceans.
