Catalog context

Mawson & Mount Twintop SQ 40-41/15 & Part SR 40-41/3 have been numbered according to a map numbering system adopted by Department of National Mapping in 1964 for the 1:250,000 series which is different from that adopted for the 1:1 million map series in 1971. The map should now be quoted as SQ 41-42/13 & SR 41-42/1.
