LA TITUDE-LONGITUDE GRID MAPS OF AFRICA (CCTA Climatological Atlas of Africa gridded base maps) D. H. S. DAVIS Medical Ecology Centre, Johannesburg The series of outline plotting maps on exhibit was prepared in the Department of Geography under the direction of Prof. S. P. Jackson. Their production arose from a recommendation made at a CCTAjCSA specialist meeting on the Cartography of Vectors of Disease, Bukavu-Lwiro, 1957 (see CCTAjCSA Publication No. 29, 1958). The maps are printed on a good quality cartridge paper, on the same scales and projection (zenithal equal area) as the CCTA Climatological Atlas.· The grid and the base map detail (place names, rivers, contours, etc.) are printed in non-photographic blue. The frame, coast-line, territorial boundaries and degree lines (at 6° intervals for Mrica sheets, scales 1 :30,000,000 and 1 :15,000,000, and at 2° intervals for the six regional sheets, scale 1 :5,000,(00) are printed in black. The maps have been published by the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, whence supplies may be obtained. The small 1 :30,000,000 (15 in. x 12 in.) are sold in batches of 50 and others (30 in. x 24 in.) in batches of 10. The Africa sheets are subdivided into degree squares, and the six regional sheets into quarter-degree (15' x 15') squares. For further particulars of the quarter-degree square system of mapping see de Meillon, B., Davis, D. H. S., and Hardy, F., Plague in Southern Mrica. I. The Siphonaptera. Government Printer, Pretoria, 1961, or consult CCTAjCSA Publication No. 29, referred to above. * Climatological Atlas of Africa, compiled and edited in the African Climatology Unit, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, under the direction of Prof. S.
