Abstract
BOTH these are layer coloured bathy metrical maps on a scale of 1: 20,000,000. The Arctic map is a revised version with insets and names in English of the map in Andree's “Handatlas” (1924). It is an excellent map with much detail. A slight misuse is made of the name Svalbard. It is the name for all the islands, except Jan Mayen, under Norwegian sovereignty in the Arctic Sea and not a synonym for the island of Spitsbergen itself.
