Abstract
PROF. GRIFFITH TAYLOR holds an honourable place in the society of geographical investigators, and in his researchespecially that part concerned with the interrelations of climate and human settlementhe has demonstrated the power of his observant eye. His certainty of touch is most dependable when he is engaged in the study of Australasia, a region with which his name will always be intimately associated. An earlier volume “Environment and Race” discussed, in relation to environmental conditions during successive epochs, the evolution of some of the main groups of mankind outside Europe, and it is, therefore, not unexpectedly that we find the present volume devoted to the European communities by whom the idea of nationality was first conceived.
