----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hi- I have the atlas in question on hand. Wurm, S.A. et al. Language atlas of China = Chung-kuo yu yen ti tu chi -- Pacific Linquistics Series C ; no. 102 -- Hong Kong : Longman Group, 1988, c.1987. 1 atlas (1 case [79] unbound leaves of plates) : 37 col. maps ; 40 x 56 cm. Scales differ. ISBN: 0582049865. It is a great work and used quite a bit around here. If you can justify the cost, you should try to get a hold of it. If you do find it on line, let us all know.
