Having forwarded, on Saturday morning, Brendan Whyte's posting to the
UK-based 'Lis-maps' a helpful response has been posted today (Monday)
morning by my ex-Geological Society of London's map librarian, Wendy
Cawthorne. Another response was from a disgruntled BAS [British
Antarctic Survey] person - "Wot, no Antarctica? Plenty Gazetteers for
that!" - but maybe both polar regions are subsumed under 'Northern
Europe' and 'Oceania' or similar?

Critical reviews of this gazetteer set might make 'interesting' reading
. . .
