The Senior Scientific Geography. By E. W. Heaton, B.Sc. (Ralph,

Holland, and Co. 5s. net.)—Mr. Heaton has published under the title of "A Scientific Geography " a series of seven volumes. He has selected for the present purpose portions from these, adding a new section on South America. The plan of the work before us is to give under the heading of " Physical Geo- graphy " an account of the earth as a planet, of its formation, of the oceans, of the atmosphere, of rivers, &c.; and to follow this with special accounts of the various countries of the world, viewed from the scientific standpoint. One part is given to the British Empire. Altogether, we have here a very useful book.
