In the upper left corner, inside the neat line, there is an inset with the overview of the north African continent and the area mapped. These map and notes refer to the duty of Captain Tilho to define the frontier between the French and British spheres and the British counterpart is R.P.O. Shee. The second responsibility was to carry out a programme of scientific research focused on Lake Chad. |
