Physiography. By Edward Hull, M.A. (C. W. Deacon and Co.)—

This is a very compact little text-book, with introductory chapters on " The Earth as a Planet," and " Terrestrial Physics," and also some chapters on the distribution of botanical and animal life, illustrated by maps, plates, and diagrams. Professor Hull has used the extended definition of " Physiography " in its very widest sense, and we think he is right, especially with regard to the last chapters of the book. He might have given, we think, many more interesting details about particular lora lilies ; but the limits of space, we suppose, prevented him. Still, for an " introduction," this volume is all that is wanted or necessary.
