The traveller and the student are greatly indebted to Messrs.
T. and T. Clark, of Edinburgh, for the publication of a quite admirable Topographical and Physical Map of Palestine, compiled under the direction of J. G. Bartholomew, and edited by Professor George Adam Smith (10s. 6d. or, as a wall map, 15s.) It is on the scale of four inches to the mile, a scale large beyond precedent for any map of a whole country. The elevations are marked in colours, and the sound- ings of the Lake of Galilee and the Dead Sea are given. The localities are given in accordance with the results of the Palestine Exploration Surveys and the best authorities generally. Subsidiary maps are " A Section across Galilee and the Jordan Valley," "A Vegetation Map of Modern Palestine," and " A Plan of Jerusalem." A special index accompanies it.
