New edition of the atlas of Tanzania

Abstract

The present (or first) edition of the Atlas of Tanzania was commenced in February 1964. It began as the fourth edition of the Atlas of Tanganyika but before the work was far along union with Zanzibar was achieved and it was renamed "first edition of the Atlas of Tanzania". It appeared, after some unavoidable delays, at the end of 1969. Much of its data was by the time at least several years old, and some of it was not as full as it should have been, particularly in respect of Zanzibar.
