A short while ago I circulated the programme for the forthcoming 'Maps and
Society' lectures in London.  Unfortunately, through a careless error, an
earlier draft of the programme was used.  While the dates, speakers and
titles were given correctly, some of the speakers' affiliations were not.

The corrected programme follows.  The webpage has also been altered.

With sincere apologies to the speakers affected by this mistake.
