TL;DR
The procedure involves the use of computer generated shaded matrices based on unclassed choropleth mapping in conjunction with a strategy for matrix reorganization that incorporates a combination of techniques for seriation and the ordering of binary trees.

A method is described for handling large quantities of taxonomic data by an electronic computer so as to yield the outline of a classification based on equally weighted features that enables Similarity to be expressed numerically, and would allow taxonomic rank to be measured in terms of it.

This essay has tried to illustrate the fact that error in choroplethic mapping inhibits the transfer of information and that there are methods for improving this type of map as a communicative tool.

Two additions to Johnson's hierarchical cluster analysis (1967) are proposed, a procedure for ordering the clusters to make the obtained solution unique and frequently more meaningful and a similarity measure, whereby two clusters of the same set of variables can be compared.
