And the comments were intriguing:
As a small boy in the mid 1970s I got a really deep paper cut on my thumb from my parents' copy of that atlas.
It was page 31.

Funnily enough there's a blood stain on page 31 of this copy!

I've just called my parents: they've still got their copy.
It would seem I'm not the only victim of this treacherous tome. It lures you in with its seductive information graphics on 'Whale And Eel Migrations' and the like, then bam! Dario Argento all over the Dralon.
Bleeders Digest, more like.

Yesterday I finally checked my copy to see what was happening on the dreaded Page 31:
The Great Australian Bight?
(This seems to be an Australian edition. Page 31 may not be so inherently vicious elsewhere)

Cheers, Saint.
There's something about Adelaide...
I was disappointed that Victoria/Melb on Page 30 missed out on the honours by a narrow margin (well - 1 inch to 79 miles or something)
Page 32
would not have cut anyone.
Hmmmm....Page 32 = FNQ.
And being the flip side, I guess it would bear some of the blame?
