in Italy. In Bologna, in the archive of Opera Pia dei Poveri Vergognosi, is a set of Blaeu's four wall maps of the continents, engraved on new plates by Pietro Todeschi and published by Giuseppe Longhi. The value of the discovery lies in the completeness
of the exemplars, which also bear the publisher's imprint and date of publication, hitherto unknown: Europe 1677; Africa 1678; Asia 1679; America 1679/1680(?). An undated version of de Wit's world wall map, also published by Longhi, has come to light in the same
archive. A copy of the same map, this time published by Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi in Rome in 1675, was then found in Modena in the Seminario Metropolitano. Comparison of the two copies has provided a date for Longhi's undated issue; Longhi's map came

In the 17th and 18th century Amsterdam was the centre of the so-called golden age of Dutch cartography. Well known cartographers and publishers worked in the city and left their marks still visible in the cityscape. The article wants to encourage

(Voir aussi BGI, 1979, vol.84, n4 réf.5236). The sheet depicts a large area of the province North-Holland, the area north of Amsterdam. The most western part of the area consists of coastal dunes, polders and peat surfaces cover the rest of the map
. The sheet has been published according to the legend mentioned in abstracts 78A/834 and 78A/836. The legend printed on this sheet contains only the units occuring on it. Some minor aditions to the original legend were necessary. (AIS).

This review will consider, in particular, the scope and purpose of permafrost maps, underlying philosophical and technical questions, and possible future directions. The principal emphasis is on large-format mapspublished as sheet maps or atlas
maps. Such large-format maps, whether atlas maps or wall maps, are usually published by government agencies or by universities. Terminology follows generally the recommendations of the former Canadian Permafrost Subcommittee and the International
Permafrost zonation in eastern Canada : a review of publishedmaps
Although progressive improvements in data availability are apparent through time, many of the differences between maps are attributable to a lack of explicit mapping criteria, to ambiguous or conflicting definitions of permafrost continuity
Nowadays the Geographical Survey Institute is in Japan the most important organism for making scientific, systematic and accurate urban maps. To meet demands for much more detailed, updated town information, private companies publish urban maps
and atlases. They give a reminiscence of the urban picture maps designed as guide maps during the end of the Tokugawa feudal period (mid-nineteenth century). - (SGA)

The paper describes mapspublished on Polish national parks’ websites. Maps are discussed from the point of view of the technology used, range and method of presentation of the content, cartographic quality and design quality. The author describes
separately the websites, where the geographic information services were published as map servers (a solution for delivering geographic databases via the Web). Unfortunately, the conclusions are critical. - (BJ)

Bavaria is a geographically and historically homogenous country was ideal for development of thematic mapping. The oldest maps of Bavaria were published just in XVIth century. The important tradition of Central European roads map started
in this time too. The many other thematic maps were developed in 18th and especially in 19th century. Four centuries of experience represent actually a fixed part of cartography, permitting cartography depiction of all features. - (MS)

From December 1940 until May 1945 András Rónai acted as director of the Institute of Political Sciences at Budapest. He launched a project to publish an Atlas of Central Europe containing a series of predominantly thematic maps which was compiled
from more than 3.5 million statistical data published by ten states of the region in the 1930s and 40s. The atlas represents an area from Saxony to Lemberg, up to the Abruzzi and Foggia in Italy, Albania, Skopje and Edirne. - (AM)
On the accuracy of heighting from aerial photographs and maps: implications to process modellers
Aerial photography ; Data ; Methodology ; Model ; Photogrammetry ; Topographic map
This paper offers some cautionary advice in the use of aerial photographs and maps to provide morphological information. Current mapping specifications are reviewed and the prospects for improved accuracy in heighting, given new equipment
such as cameras equipped with forward motion compensation, are analysed in the light of recent published material. An analysis is presented of the manner in which random errors in photogrammetric observations can be propagated through a block of aerial photographs
A procedure for the statistical characterization of the units of the Belgian soil map, published at a scale of 1:20 000, is described and illustrated. It makes use of the information of 8 962 soil profiles described and sampled during the Belgian

This paper proposes a conceptual framework for a logical database by making full use of all available documents related to the Soil Map of European Communities (EC) making process, thus reducing the loss of information due to harmonization between

In 1990 FAO published a revised legend to Soil Map of the World (FAO-UNESCO 1990). In order to harmonize the soil maps of Europe, it is necessary to transform the EC soil map using the 1985-nomenclature to the FAO revised legend of 1990. This paper
