We may briefly mention the appearance of a second edition

of Dolomite Strongholds, by the Rev. J. Sanger Davies (George Bell and Sons). We commended the volume on its first appearance. It is a description of some interesting climbs, among which is the ascent of the Kleine Zinne. This mountain, to judge from the pictures, seems about as difficult to ascend as the outside of a house would be without a ladder, with an occasional turn, by way of variety, at the well-staircase inside.
