Abstract
THE Egyptian Survey Department, constituted some years ago, is adding largely and rapidly to our knowledge of the hydrography, geology, and meteorology of the Nile basin. The director-general, Captain Lyons, R.E., has prepared and issued a monograph dealing very fully with the physiography of the Nile basin. In this work, which was reviewed in NATURE of September 6 (vol. lxxiv., p. 461), he combines the results of former observers and investigators with the data acoumulated during the past ten or twelve years by his department. It is a storehouse of information relating to that most remarkable, and until recent years most mysterious, of rivers.
