We welcome the first volume (January-June, 1909) of Travel and
Exploration: a Monthly Illustrated Magazine, Edited by S. Carter Gilmour (Witherby and Co., 7s. 6d. net). It opens with a contribution from a veteran traveller and explorer, Sir Clements Markham, "The Nasamonians: a Call to Exploration." (The Nasamonians were dwellers on the North African coast, and Herodotus relates an exploit in exploration of five young men of the tribe.) Lieutenant A. Trolle writes about the Danish exploration in North-East Greenland, Colonel Sir T. H. Holdich on Dr. Sven Hedin's travels in Tibet, Mr. E. Ashmead-Bartlett about Morocco, and Mr. L. E. Bernacchi gives Antarctic experiences.
In all there are forty articles, with notices of books, practical papersior the sportsman, photographer, &c. Altogether, this is a publication which should have a decided success in these days when "many run to and fro, and knowledge [is] increased."
