Abstract
IT is to be hoped that the enterprise of the Ordnance Survey in publishing an agricultural atlas of Wales will be rewarded sufficiently to facilitate the publication of similar atlases for regions of England. Mr. J. Pryse Howell has worked at agricultural surveys for years at Aberystwyth and at Oxford, and the present atlas does considerable credit to his care and industry. It is based on parochial returns, and consists of twenty-three maps, one for each agricultural product. There are also three loose maps in colour giving the orography, geology, and rainfall of Wales, and as the agricultural maps are on translucent paper they can be superimposed on the loose maps in order to trace correlations.
