Map of Australia. (G. W. Bacon and Co. 25s.)—This new

map of Australia is on the scale of 1: 2,500,000, or 39.5 miles to an inch. It embodies the results of the latest surveys, and shows rivers in blue, railways and roads in red, while the place-names are in black. It is sufficiently up-to-date to mark the Commonwealth territory set aside for the new Federal capital at Canberra, and the approximate route of the transcontinental railway now planned. There are insets of Tasmania and Papua. It can be purchased either mounted on rollers for the wall, or in a neat case for the bookshelf.
