Maps of small areas do not providesufficient topographic and toponymic details. This applies especially to maps 12,24, and 25 of Tesla and Tiut'ko, and map 11 of Magocsi. In some instances neitherthe maps nor the texts enlighten the user about certain important developments. Onelooks in vain, for example, for developments in the years following the death ofBohdan Khmel'nyts'kyi and the beginning of Petro Doroshenko's hetmancy. Moreover,the atlas user ought to have been given some information about the cartographyof the Ukraine, 3 and to locate other, more specific atlases, 4 reference materials, 53A good brief account is H. Kolodii's "Cartography," in Encyclopedia of Ukraine, ed.Volodymyr Kubijovyc, vol. 1 (Toronto, 1984), pp. 376-80. Unfortunately, it contains anumber of errors and imprecise statements. For example, Hondius died in 1652, not in 1660;Beauplan's map, "Delineatio specialis," was published in Gdansk, not in Amsterdam; in threeeditions from 1650 to 1651 (and possibly to 1652), not from 1650 to 1653; and the eight sheetsof the map were not published, in their original size, in the atlases of Blaeu and Sanson (p.367). Also, reference should have been made to such works as V. Kordt, Materialy po istoriirusskoi kartografii, 2 pts. (Kiev, 1899-1910); idem, Materialy do istorii kartohrafii Ukrainy,pt. 1 (Kiev, 1931); Pavlo Tutkovs'kyi, Materialy do bibliohrafii mapoznavstva Ukrainy (Kiev,1924); Karol Buczek, The History of Polish Cartography from the 15th to the 18th Century,trans. Andrzej Potocki (Wroclaw, 1966 [2nd ed., Amsterdam, 1982]); and Leo Bagrow, A Historyof Russian Cartography up to 1880, ed. Henry W. Castner (Wolfe Island, Ontario, 1975).4One would expect to find such atlases as the following: Aleksander Jablonowski, Atlas HistorycznyRzeczypospolitej Polskiej: Epoka przelomu z wieku XVI-go na XVII, pt. 2: Ziemieruskie Rzeczypospolitej (Warsaw and Vienna, 1899-1904); Atlas sil's'koho hospodarstvaURSR (Kiev, 1958); S. A. Sapozhnikova, Agroklimatycheskii atlas Ukrainskoi SSR (Kiev,1964); Atlas razvitiia khoziaistva i kul'tury SSSR, ed. A. N. Voznesenskii et al. (Moscow,1967); The USSR and Eastern Europe [Oxford Regional Economic Atlas] (Oxford, 1963); andGeorge Kish, Economic Atlas of the Soviet Union, 2nd ed. (Ann Arbor, 1971).5I have in mind certain reference works such as Istoriia mist i sil Ukrains 'koi RSR, 26 vols.(Kiev, 1969-73); Geografichesko-statisticheskii slovar Rossiiskoi imperil, ed. P. Semenov etal., 5 vols. (St. Petersburg, 1863-65); and Slownik Geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego i innychkrajow stowianskich, ed. Filip Sulimerski et al., 15 vols. (Warsaw, 1880-1902 [rpt., Warsaw,1975-77]).
