The Arabs in Central Africa and at Lake Nyassa. By
James Stevenson. (Maclehose and Sons, Glasgow.)—Mr. Stevenson's pamphlet is timely. We are just now anxiously waiting the result of the effort to stem the tide of Arab invasion, an invasion which, to use Mr. Stevenson's language, "threatens to destroy the indus- trial population of the continent." It is a terrible story that he tells ; and, notwithstanding what Mr. Wilfrid Blunt may think, we cannot help wishing all success to the men who seek to bring these evils to an end.—From Mr. Stevenson, who is Chairman of the "African Lakes Company," we also get a Map of the Country between Lakes Nyassa and Tanganyika. This is compiled by Mr. E. P. Ravenstein from a variety of unpublished materials, and pub- lished by Messrs. G. Philip and Son. It represents the latest knowledge of this part of Africa.
