阅《航空时代之人文地理》，其中颇有错误及不能自圆其说之处。如第十二页讲及谋开托绘法，谓 A new type of map was made by bending a sheet of parchment pa。per around the globe until the2ends meet ， next the outlines of the lands and seas on the globe were projected onto the paper.The latter was then unrolled giving us the fa。miliar cylindrial map。按以上叙述颇有错误，因 mercator Project10n，实非 Geometrical Project10n。又 41页及 Fig.19， When we examine geographicallocat10n on a pole cen。tered world map ， some su叩rising thing come to light.The land around Arctic ocean and the lands of NW Europe & E.N.America forma zone of central locat10n in the

world。此未免有先入之见，因纽约离北极与奉天不相上下，何以一为 Central，另一则为 Pe邱heral o
