[00:00.02]A Schoolboy with a fascination for Poland and wildlife has uncovered several significant errors
[00:07.04]in the latest,the 15th, edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
[00:12.58]Lucian George, 12, a pupil at Highgate Junior School in North London, 12
[00:19.13]was delving into the volumes on Poland and wildlife in Central Europe when he noted the mistakes.
[00:25.61]The first was the assertion by the internationally acclaimed reference book that the small town of Chochim,
[00:32.84]in which two battles were fought between the Poles and the Ottoman Empire, now lies in Moldova.
[00:39.42]"Wrong," said Lucian, "Chochim is in Ukraine." “
[00:43.94]Carefully noting the page and column of each error,
[00:47.59]the boy continued his investigations of the 32 volume tome like a diligent sub-editor.
[00:54.69]In volume 25, page 934, column two, the encyclopaedia states that the European bison,
[01:04.63]or wisent, may be found only in the Bialowieza Forest in Poland, which is also incorrect.
[01:13.05]"The European bison also inhabit the southern mountains of Poland, Russia, Lithuania,
[01:18.92]Belarus, Ukraine,eastern Slovakia and the Romanian Carpathians," Lucian said.
