Stanford's General Map of the World (Stanford, 5s., 7s. 6d.

and 10s. 6d. net) is a new map on Mercator's projection, showing the latest international boundaries and mandated territories, with the principal railway lines and shipping routes marked in red. The size of the coloured sheet is 42 by 28 inches, con- venient for hanging on the wall of an office. A useful innovation is that the local time, when it is noon at Greenwich, is marked on the foot of every hour-line, or 15th meridian.
