The map does seem to deal with the distribution of jellyfish. One clue
that might help you: it is illustration 3 of volume 10 (Band X, Tafel
III). So check if it belongs a set of at least 10 volumes that deals at
least in part with jellyfish.

I'm hoping for some assistance from all of you map detectives out
there. I have part of a map that was found in a re-shelving area
(near the bio books, not the map collection). It appears to be part
of a fold-out map that fell out of an older text. I'm trying to
figure out it's source. You may view an image of the fragment I have at
https://smartsite.ucdavis.edu:8443/access/content/user/00247523/mystery_map001.jpg
The fragment I have is 33 cm high by 19 cm wide. Based on the
appearance of Franz-Joseph Land, I estimate that it was printed
between 1873 and 1926, although because it's a German print,
Franz-Joseph Land may have been used by the cartographer after the
Soviet Union took it over.
My german is basically non-existent, but it appears to be a map of
the distribution of fish or jelly fish?
Any ideas on how to figure out what this goes with would be helpful.
Thanks much!
