To those who are now turning their thoughts towards Alpine

summits may be commended The Climber's Guide to the Eastern Pennine Alps, by William Martin Conway (T. Fisher Unwin). With Mr. Conway's quarrel with the Alpine Club we are not con- oerned; but we may mention that between three and four hundred summits and passes are given, with their heights in mares and feet, and the routes by which they may be approached. When the summit is one of importance, the names of the traveller or travellers who first ascended it are given, and references are supplied to any books or journals of Alpine climbing in which descriptions have appeared.
