Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the results of verification of the boundaries of physicogeographical mesoregions of Łódz voivodeship based on contemporary spatial data. Twenty eight mesoregions, which at least partly fall within the Łódz Region, were delineated as a result of verification and refinement of the boundaries of J. Kondracki`s mesoregions. The mesoregions` parameters such as surface area, perimeter, distance and direction of centroid shift, and two shape indices for the original and the new units were compared The most important changes include the delineation of two new mesoregions: Interfluve of the Pyszna and Nieciecz Rivers, set apart from the Szczerców Basin, and the Przyrów Basin, which was created from a part of the Włoszczowa Basin.
