Scale 1:2,534,400 (1" = ~ 60 miles), geologically-coloured sheet ~ 35 × 46 cm.

Subsequent (?4th and 5th) editions include statistical data for 1861 and 1871 respectively. Note that this is not the same map as Wyld's much larger Map of the Superficial Geology of the British Isles; North (1933) suggested that this larger map belongs to the period 1845-1860, but a (?1st edition) copy in a private hands (Toland collection) is dated 1 January 1842, while subsequent editions are known dated 1843, 1845, 1847 and 1848.
