The Geographical Journal for October publishes a remarkable series of

photographs taken by the Mount Everest Expedition, with some notes and a tentative diagram of the country round the mountain. Mr. Stefansson describes the important Canadian Arctic Expedition, which was away in the north throughout the war, and whose work has therefore attracted little notice. Dr. Hume, Director of the Geological Survey of Egypt, gives an account of " The Egyptian Wilderness." and incidentally shows how the geologist has revealed the mineral treasures of that region.
