The Eastern Libyans. By Orb Bates. (Macmillan and Co. 42a.

net.)—The author of this important contribution to the archaeology of Northern Africa has long been engaged in collecting materials for a history of Cyreuaica. His Libyan notes grew in volume until it became quite clear that they would form a disproportionate part of this work, and Mr. Bates has accordingly taken the sensible course of making a separate book of them. As a member of the Nubian Archaeo- logical Survey, he has had exceptional opportunities of col- lating the monumental evidence, and his book will be welcomed by all students.
