Mr. F. T. Jane, whose large book on Fighting Ships

has long been known as a standard authority, has compiled a handy pocket-book showing silhouettes of all the world's Warships at a Glance, and a shilling Naval Recognition Book giving descriptions and silhouettes of the German Fleet. Both are published by Messrs. Sampson Low, Marston, and Co.—The Royal Navy List for 1915 (Witherby and Co., 7s. 6d. net) gives as usual the services and honours of our naval officers. This year it includes a special section dealing with services in the present war down to November 30th, and a brief but clear narrative of naval events—so far as yet published—during the first three months of the war,
