Subject:        Survey of India 1:126,720 series of Arabia?

We have a single sheet (D38-G SE) of a 1:126,720 British survey of India
series from the 1910s, covering part of the Aden Protectorate.
It's the same style and format as the standard Survey of India sheets at
this scale.

Does anyone have an index for this series? Were any other sheets produced?

We only have one for the Indian subcontinent....


The sheet in question was later reproduced as part of GSGS 3879 in 1930,
but that series (which we hold a complete set of, see index at
http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/664505), has a different format in
terms of marginalia, numbering etc.

Thanks,
