This map includes all the country between the Niger and the West Coast, and is
based on the most recent surveys. The routes followed by numerous explorers, as well
as those reported by the natives, are shown. The boundaries up to the date of pub
lication are clearly defined, but in some cases they already require revision. At the
present time, owing to disputes as to what nation certain portions of the territory
belong, this cannot fail to be an interesting map.

be useful for purposes of general reference. All railways and lines of submarine
telegraph cables are laid down, and the relative importance of towns is shown by
symbols.
PHOTOGRAPHS.
Baluchistan. Bremner.
Six photographs of Quetta and surrounding country. Taken from the fort, by
F. Bremner, Esq. Presented by G. P. Tate, Esq.
These photographs, which have been taken by Mr. F. Bremner, show views of
Quetta and the scenery in its vicinity. Four of them form a connected series of view’s
lucking towards the east, the remaining two are consecutive pictures looking towards
the west. The spot from which they were taken is a commanding position in the fort,
and the time of year was the early part of the winter.
The photographs are remarkably good specimens, and convey a very clear idea of
the station and its environment.
1T.B.—It would greatly add to the value of the collection of Photo
graphs which has been established in the Map Room, if all the Fellows
of the Society who have taken photographs during their travels, would
forward copies of them to the Map Curator, by whom they will be
acknowledged. Should the donor have purchased the photographs, it
will be useful for reference if the name of the photographer and his
address are given.
