Abstract
THE term “applied geography” has been in use for some years as a general designation of lendings or borrowings of geographical results, whether by a geographer who applies the material of his own science to another, or by a geologist or a meteorologist, or again an ethnologist or historian, who borrows of the geographer. Whether geography makes the loan of her own motion or not, the interest in view, as it seems to me, is primarily that, not of geography, but of another science or study.
