The Geological Society has recently commissioned a scan of Murchison’s
map of ‘The Silurian Region’ and can now offer prints of the map for
sale at the price of £25 +VAT & postage for Fellows of the Society or
£35 +VAT & postage for non-Fellows.  It is the first map to show the
Silurian formations in South Wales and adjacent counties of England.  It
accompanied his work ‘The Silurian System’ published in 1839, although
it is frequently missing from the book.  The scanning work was
undertaken to a high specification by the Royal Geographical Society.
