Hi-
I have the atlas in question on hand.
Wurm, S.A. et al.
Language atlas of China = Chung-kuo yu yen ti tu chi -- Pacific
Linquistics Series C ; no. 102 -- Hong Kong : Longman Group, 1988, c.1987.
1 atlas (1 case [79] unbound leaves of plates) : 37 col. maps ; 40 x 56
cm. Scales differ. ISBN: 0582049865.
It is a great work and used quite a bit around here. If you can justify
the cost, you should try to get a hold of it. If you do find it on line,
let us all know. Sue
