INDEX MAPS

This book contains 90 index maps showing the geographical distribution of groups, subgroups and formations, placed in the lexicon parts (Chapters
2.6, 3.5, 4.4, 5.2) with the respective key words. Units of member and bed rank have no index maps, because their geographical distribution is normally not mapped in detail, or their lateral boundary relations are not sufficiently defined.
