----------------------------Original message---------------------------- If Susan hasn't found an answer to her gores question yet, you might want to try an OLD junior high school geography book. The one I used in 7th grade (1954-55) had end pages with map gores and also several plates with various world distribution phenomena on gores. I didn't know it then, but now it kinda smells like somebody didn't like Mercator! ;-) virginia \ / Virginia R.
