Summary. The first‐order theory of three‐dimensional representations of the actual gravity field of the Earth on the normal field given by Bocchio has been applied to the class of isoparametric‐and of isozenithal‐type mappings. The resulting linear and angular deformations together with the expressions for the gravity anomalies and disturbances have been compared and discussed and some invariant relations have been put into evidence.
