Abstract
THE first part of this atlas contains four maps numbered respectively 21, 60, 79, and 95. The parts of the world represented are the southern section of Scotland, Farther India, Lower Egypt (from a little above Luxor), and Mexico and Central America (from Costa Rica inclusive). Three of the maps are, and, no doubt, the majority of those in the atlas will be, drawn on the layering principle, which has the advantages of conducing to clearness and indicating the broad distribution of high grounds and low grounds at a glance. This has been done with a skill worthy of the reputation which the map-making firm responsible for it has long held for work of this class.
