Messrs. Sifton, Praed, and Co., Ltd., the well-known map- makers
(The Map House, 67 St. James's Street), have just published for the Balkan Committee a most interesting diagrammatic map of the Slav territories east of the Adriatic, drawn by Sir Arthur Evans. The map includes the pro- vinces of Istria, Carniola, Carinthia, parts of Styria and Hungary, Croatia, Slavonia, Dalmatia, Bosnia, and Herze- govina (all at .present within the confines of the Austrol Hungarian Empire); also Montenegro and portions of Serbia and Albania. The map shows clearly the areas occupied by Serbo-Croats, Slovenes, Slovaks, Germans, Magyars, Italians., Roumans, and Albanians, and in view of the coming European Settlement should prove of great interest and value., The scale of the map is 1/1,500,000; twenty-four miles to one inch. The price in sheet form is 2s. 6d.; post free, 2s. 10d.; or mounted to fold in case, 4s. 6d.; post free, 4s. 8d. The map, we feel sure, will prove of great assistance to all who are concerned with the study of the amazingly difficult ethnographical problems with which the politician is con- fronted in the Near East. It is as if all the gerrymanderers of the habitable globe had conspired to produce a first-rate puzzle or a test case for the practice of their tortuous art.
