The scale given with the map permits the number of cattle for any State to be read fairly accurately. The degree of accuracy depends upon the map size selected, and upon the number of dots used to represent any given quantity. The more dots used the greater the accuracy. There is.

The use of much heavier Hues on the small circles and the figures in them would have improved this chart. Pins or black-ink dots, each representing say 20 workers, would give a good result by using the method of Fig. 198

however, a limit to the number of dots which may be used, or the dots will of necessity be so small in diameter that the quarter circles will be impossible for the eye to distinguish. In Fig. 176 it would not be feasible to use a much smaller circle if the quarter-circles are used.

For popular presentation, if great accuracy is unimportant, this method of illustration would be difficult to improve upon. It is not possible to get a correct comparison between any two States because any one circle cannot be fitted visually into the area of another circle. Compare the method used in Fig. 176
