Abstract
IT is a widely accepted fact that, since the War, the national large-scale plans of Great Britain have been getting more and more out of date. The reductions of staff, effected as a result of the recommendations of the Geddes Committee of 1922, have made it impossible for the Ordnance Survey to keep the plans in a reasonable state of repair. This is all the more to be regretted because the reductions in question only produced a trifling economy in the national budget. A leading article discussing the present position was published in NATURE of November 3, and if, as we may hope, an inquiry is to be held into this matter, a recent publication by the Director of the Ordnance Survey will provide a sure foundation of fact upon which it can be based.
