An investigation, due to Professor E. H. Thompson, by which the coordinates of the Transverse Mercator projection can be computed from closed formulae instead of from infinite series, is described. The entire spheroid can be represented within a finite area, and a graticule is illustrated. Suggestions for the nomenclature of three species of Transverse Mercator projection are made.
