The Story of Africa and its Explorers. By Robert Brown,

M.A. Vol. II. (Cassell and Co.)—Dr. Brown, who is assisted by various helpers—Dr. James Marie and Captain Cameron among them—tells the story of the Nile—the subject of "Seekers after its Source" being treated by Dr. Murie—of the Great Lakes, and of Dr. Livingstone, being helped here by Mr. F. C. Harman. Another chapter tells us about the Zambesi, Shiro, and other rivers, and about various lakes, of which Nyassa and Tanganyika are perhaps the best known. Finally, we have the "Exploration of the Congo," contributed by Dr. R. W. Felkin.
