Abstract
We present two extensions of Wilson's explanation of the Miura map from MKdV to KdV. In the first, we explain the map of Svinolupov et al. from a certain UrKdV-like equation to KdV, and in the second we explain Konopelchenko's map from the modified KP equation to KP. In the course of the latter, we introduce an 'UrKP' system, with an infinite-dimensional symmetry, providing us with a systematic method to construct Bäcklund transformations for the modified KP and KP equations.
