Amongst the numerous maps recently produced by the war, we

must strongly recommend Philips' Contour War Map of Europe (George Philip and Son, ls. net on paper, 2s. 6d. net on cloth). This map, on a scale of sixty-three miles to the inch, is coloured in contours at intervals of aim hundred feet, and at a glance gives a remarkably good idea of the natural barriers which confine the fighting to certain districts and routes.---The same publishers issue the Daily Mail Worisi Map of War and Commerce (Is. net),-showing the chief trade routes and Colonial possessions, with annexed diagrams illne- trating the possible effects of the war on German trade.— The ninth of Mr. Edward Stanford's excellent series of war maps depicts The Seat of War in Turkey, on a soale of fifty miles to the inch.
