Chinese National Atlas

A brief editorial notice states that three volumes of the planned five-volume Chinese National Atlas had already appeared: Volume I on Taiwan, Volume II on Tibet, Sinkiang and Mongolia, and Volume III on North China. Volume IV on South China and Volume V of general maps were expected by October 1962. The series is edited by Dr. Chi-yun Chang of the Institute of Geography in Taipei, and all place names are given in Chinese and English; inquiries from the United States are directed to Dr. Jen-hu Chang in Honolulu. Once the atlas is finished, the institute intends to compile an atlas of Southeast Asia and to take up work on Taiwan's water resources and agricultural planning, China's cultural and natural resources, urbanization in the Orient, and the economic potential of Southeast Asia.
