Royal Navy List and Naval Recorder. October, 1906. ( Witherby

and Co. 102.)—The hundred-and-sixteenth issue of the Royal- Navy List now before us is an improvement on its predecessors in that it contains an alphabetical list of the War and Meritorious. Servicesof officers of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. There. are one or two omissions from this list, but this is the fault of the officers concerned for not having informed the editor of their services. In the second half—" The Naval Recorder "—there in the usual fair and impartial current history of the Royal Navy for the year. This portion of the volume also includes several interesting tables and diagrams illustrative of the balance of sea power. We note an amusing misprint on p. 657, which gives the date of the commissioning of H.M.S. lionaventure' on the East Indian station as 1194.
