Abstract
A SEBIES of articles on the Malabar district of India is published in an enlarged number of the Journal of the Madras Geographical Association (Oct. 1931–Jan. 1932). These papers were read at a conference of the Association held at Palghat in May 1931. They cover the geology, meteorology, botany, and agriculture of the district, and are illustrated by various maps. Following these there are other papers dealing with modern and ancient trade, trade routes, and urban centres. A particularly interesting paper treats of Roman trade centres on the Malabar coast. There are also notes on the place names. The volume is a useful contribution to the study of India, and is chiefly the work of Indian teachers.
