Abstract
THE teaching of geography has received much attention in recent years, and the increased importance given to the subjects in schools has led to the production of several new series of excellent wall maps. The present map is a new addition to one of these series. It is boldly printed, and coloured in a manner to make it easily visible in all parts of a large classroom. The scale is 1:633.600, or ten miles to an inch. The populations of the different, towns are indicated by means of symbols, but it is to be feared that these will be of little use to anybody but the teacher. The map will require to be supplemented by an orographical one if the physical geography of our country is to be studied satisfactorily.
