Of the now edition of The Imperial Gazetteer of India
(The Clarendon Press) we have received Vol. XXVI. (15s. net), con- taining the Atlas. The maps number sixty-four, of which 49-64 represent the chief Indian cities, beginning with Calcutta; 47 gives Afghanistan, and 48 Aden with its environs. Nos. 1 and 2 give the world, India with surrounding countries; 3-10 represent various physical facts, such as geological strata, mountains, temperature, &c. No. 11 pictures "density of population," the belt of the greatest density (four hundred to the square mile) reaching from Calcutta up to beyond Lahore. Races, religions, agricultural products, economic minerals, railways,
are successively shown. Then we have historical maps, and finally, from 29-46, geographical maps, beginning with Bengal and ending with Burma (and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands).
