Note 6 — Front matter (continued 2)

It may be necessary, perhaps, to explain to some why the western side is on the right in the little maps illustrating this paper, and not, as usual with maps, on the left. We are supposed to look down towards the earth in the case of a terrestrial map, and to look up from the earth in the case of a celestial map, and naturally right and left for the former attitude become respectively left and right for the latter.
