The supplementary volume in "Stanford's Compendium of Geography and Travel"

(Stanford) is a Glossary of Geographical and Topographical Terms, by Alexander Knox, B.A. (15s.) By the title is meant, not the scientific terms used by geographers, but all the words and parts of words found in place-names, and these in all languages. It is difficult to give an idea of the compre- hensiveness of the treatment followed. A sample may help:-

"

CHEA017 (Chita), a bridge. Cf. Chiao, Kiao.

CHEAP. See CHIPPING.

CHERIE.' (Hausa), an island.

• CHEDE (Nike). See Ens. (A market.) CHEKIL (E. Turk.), a steep rock. CHRICXESI (Turk.), a bridge."
