Dear All:

I must thank everyone who has tried to find the fugitive literature in
which I'm interested, or who have made suggestions as to where to
look, since I posted my request on June 5th.

The citation -- taken from Daniel Dorling and David Fairbairn,
*Mapping: Ways of Representing the World* (Harlow, Essex: Longman,
1997) -- was to International Cartographic Association *Achievements
of the ICA, 1991-1995* (Paris: Institut Géographique National, 1995).
After many hints and further searching, this would appear to have been
a document prepared by Jean-Philippe Grelot and distributed at the ICA
conference in Barcelona in 1995.

My further research led me to a number of other ICA publications, both
print (esp. *The Cartographic Journal*) and on the web, which seem to
be far more appropriate and relevant sources for my immediate purpose
(the ICA definition of "map" as adopted in 1995).

Thanks again for everyone's help!

Matthew
