Abstract
IN this excellent wall map the distribution of lowlands and highlands is shown by six different colours representing land below sea level, and that between the contours 0–600 feet, 600–1500 feet, 1500–3000 feet, 3000–6000 feet, and above 6000 feet. Ocean depths in fathoms are indicated by white and four shades of blue. The only names on the maps are printed very small, and are intended for the use of the teacher exclusively. The position of important towns is indicated by dots. These expedients have made it possible to produce a remarkably clear map on which the physical features of essential importance can be seen easily from every part of a class-room. In these days, when all good geographical teaching is based upon the broad principles of physical geography, an Orographical wall map is an absolutely necessary accompaniment to every lesson, and teachers will welcome such a map designed by two competent authorities and produced in the best modern style at a moderate price.
