| Arrangement | Below is a list of countries with CMS missions active between 1804 and 1959, listed alphabetically by present-day place name followed by related mission series with the unique mission reference which forms part of the finding number in [square brackets]. For example, records of CMS work in Greece are held in the Mediterranean mission series and the unique mission reference for the Mediterranean mission is ‘M’. Names of mission areas are given as they appear in the records; ‘speech marks’ indicate where a mission name is fully or partly composed of historical terms which are not in present-day use and include names or spellings introduced by colonial administrations. Where the name of a mission area changed between the start of the mission and 1959 the earliest name is given in (round brackets).
