Through Jamaica with a Kodak. By Alfred Leader. (Simpkin, Marshall,

and Co. 6s. net.)—After some notes on Bristol, which, though scarcely relevant, we are glad to have, and a brief account of the voyage out, Mr. Leader begins with his proper subject. This is the scenery, the industry, and the population, white and polepred, of the island. Perhaps among the population should be reckoned the ants, cockroaches, flies, and the insects generally, making up as they do an important element in life. Other topics are dealt with in the volume, and in an interesting way. The illustrations are excellent.
