The four maps listed here were found in the possession of the
person apprehended in New Haven in July and charged with the theft of
maps from a research library.  These maps are apparently not from
that library, and authorities would like to ascertain their
provenance.  Please check your collections to see if you are missing
any of these maps.  If you think any of these maps might be yours,
please contact me off-list and I will forward the information to the
authorities.
