It examined Spanish and U.S. national atlases in preparation, reports on Soviet and Japanese atlases published in 1967, Indian mapping, and a South Asian historical atlas planned for 1971. Discussion emphasized technical and economic constraints, cartographic generalization and symbolization, while reports on expanding French regional atlases accompanied a Moscow proposal to standardize their preparation.
