Huw (and All), A specific check of both our card catalogue and of our original accessions register entry (for 26 May 1963), and information derived from these and published in 'New atlases and maps : additions to the Map Room' (in 'New geographical literature and maps ... May 1963 - November 1963' vol. 3 no. 26 p.441, issued by the RGS) reveals that the two DOS (Geol) items you list was the complete 'package'. Maybe the BL ML catalogue on CD-ROM tells you more/confirms this? Alas, our copy of Alistair Macdonald's history of the DOS (HMSO, 1996) is inaccessible. And 'Swaziland' comp. by Balam Nyeko, rev. ed. (Clio Pr., 1994), which is vol. 24 in the World Bibliographical Series, ignores it (probably because its cartographic...). However, David McNeill and I came across more duplicate cartographic materials a fortnight ago (in rush to clear basement prior to asbestos check), and there is more Swaziland mapping - and other African - to post on Lis-maps next week. Watch this space for 'Duplicate cartographic materials : New Series'.
