We have received from Messrs. De La Rue an excellent

assortment of Diaries, Calendars, Pocket-books of various kinds, sizes, and prices, to be carried about, or hung up, or placed on the desk, as occasion may require. Ingeniously contrived indexes are a feature in some. Then there is the "finger-shape," which may be put into the pocket without dis- turbing the nicest fit. For those who like the old-fashioned pocket-book with its flap there is the Portable Diary and Memorandum Book. The Traveller's Index Diary, with its well- assorted information, and other conveniences, put into a most portable form, will commend itself for its special purpose. The information, we should say, is edited-by Mr. E. Roberts, of the Nautical Almanac Office.
