REFERRING to the kind notice of my presidential address to the Conference of Delegates at the Cardiff meeting of the British Association in NATURE of September 16, p. 90, time did not permit details to be given of the evolution of Scottish maps, or those of Faden, etc., would certainly have been referred to. The large map of Cary's which I mentioned was not the one you surmise, ``with the coach roads coloured in blue, which is on the scale of five miles to an inch,'' but the map on the scale of two miles to an inch. The typist or printer, quite pardonably, has apparently mistaken my ``two'' for ``ten.'' With regard to Griffith's map of Ireland, I still contend that the date of the map ``to be included as a classic'' is that of 1853. I know there was a slightly improved edition in 1855; there is one in the library of the Geological Society of London, but that was the third edition, and not the second, as stated in your columns.
