Messrs. Stanford have added to their " London Atlas Series

" a good political map of Africa, printed in colours, on a scale of 254 miles to an inch (4s.). The political destiny of the ex-German colonies is indicated tentatively, though Belgium's mandate for the Kivu country is not noticed. Apparently France receives control of nearly all the Cameroons and of about half of Togoland. The proposed additions to Italy's sphere, at the expense of Great Britain and France, are not considered by the map-maker. The railways are clearly marked. In the next edition it would be well to indicate the new air route from Cairo to the Cape.
