A new edition of an excellent Picture Map of Palestine,

compiled by Frances E. Wood (S.S.U., 125. 6d.), deserves mention. It is admirably clear and effective. The scale is three miles to the inch, quite sufficient for all practical purposes, and not making the map inconveniently large for hanging up, say, on a schoolroom wall. (It is about 5 ft. 6 in. long, and 2 ft. 8 in. broad.) The height of the mountains and hilly regions is marked by shades of brown, and the depth of the seas by shades of blue, varying from the light azure of Merom to the dark hue of the Dead Sea.
