Abstract
THE authors of this ever-welcome annual have conquered many difficulties in their survey of the world as it appeared in May, 1920. The maps indicate the new boundaries of South-eastern Europe and the Near East, and the new divisions of the former German colonies Togo, Kamerun, and German East Africa. In the text, however, the partitions of these ex-German territories has not been worked out. The difficulties of compilation are illustrated by the treatment of Czechoslovakia and Yugo-Slavia. In the first case an attempt has been made to bring together the statistics relative to the former Austrian and the former Hungarian lands, while in the second instance full details are given for Serbia only.
