Abstract
A LARGE proportion of the October number of Astronomy and Astro-Physics is devoted to articles on Mars, illustrated by several coloured plates. Schiaparelli's map of Mars forms the frontispiece; Prof. Schaeberle contributes nine drawings of the planet; and there are three plates containing drawings made at the Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Arizona, by Mr. Percival Lowell, Prof. W.
