'Ka PS.—We are glad to see two more of Mr.
John Murray's "Handy Classical Maps" (1s. net each). These are Palestine and Germania, both appearing under the editorial care of Mr. G. B. Grundy. The Palestine map illustrates "Old and New Testament hittortacedrd- - tug to the Palestine Exploration Survey" (would it not have been- possible to mark the localities of the tribes, as the provintes are marked in a map of France in Departments ?) Half of the space is occupied by two supplementary maps giving "countries mentioned in the Old Testament," and "countries mentioned in the New Testament," with a reference to the journeys of St. Paul Germania includes the whole country from the Baltic to the Black Sea, i.e., Gertnaltid Magna, which was never subdued by the Romans, together with the provinces of Rhaetia and JtroviCuns in one division, with the two_cis-Rhenane territories which:the Romans somewhat magniloquently called Germania Superior and Inferior ; and in the other division, Pannonia (Superior and Inferior), Illyrium (the barbarous "Elyria" is given in the title but not in the map), Dacia, Maesia (I. and II.), Thracia, and Macedonia, with the unsubdned Sarmatia.
