Abstract
A NEW monthly publication has appeared entitled the Geographical Magazine (London: Geographical Magazine, Ltd., Is.). The first number fulfils the aim of the editor to depict the geographical background of important events, works of construction and conservation, and the conditions in which various peoples are living throughout the world. Attention will be given also to exploration, travel in little -known lands and among primitive peoples, and the life of animals in relation to their environment. The eight articles include accounts of Abyssinia by Major R. E. Cheesman, India's North-East Frontier by Capt. Kingdon Ward, the routes in the North Syrian desert by Miss C. P. Grant, the aborigines of Central Australia by Mr. B. Macgraith, the “Changing Face of Amsterdam“by Mr. F. R. Yerbury. The home country is represented by an article on the Lake District by Mr. Hugh Walpole and Prof. P. Abercrombie. There are numerous and good illustrations and a small map is given with each article. Half the profits made by the magazine are to be devoted to a fund for the promotion of geographical knowledge to be administered by a body of trustees under the chairmanship of the president of the Royal Geographical Society.
