The Geographical Journal for February contains Sir Francis Younghusband's statement

regarding the expedition to Mount Everest, as well as some notes by Colonel Howard Bury on the approaches to the mountain. Major F. M. Bailey's account of his adventurous visit to Bokhara in 1919 is cf much interest ; the Bolsheviks appear to have destroyed the famous Central Asian mart, and large districts in Ferghana are going out of cultivation.
