Abstract
BOTH these books are well worthy the attention of every one interested in Arctic travel. But little was known about the island of Waigatz, and still less of Kolguef. Both books are profusely illustrated, and provided with useful maps, but some of Mr. Jackson's pictures are borrowed without acknowledgment. As might naturally be expected, the Samoyedes occupy the greatest share of attention, but some information respecting the fauna and flora of both islands is added, and the difficulties of travelling are dwelt upon with considerable detail.
