Abstract
AS the longer title of this work denotes, this is not a book on forestry, but on physiography for students of forestry, and especially for those of the United States. The book is in two parts, the first of which forms a complete treatise on the subject of soils, and it is this part which will be of most interest to foresters and nature-students in this country. The second and larger part is devoted to a description of the United States, according to physiographic regions, in regard to geology, climate, soil, and vegetation.

By Prof. I. Bowman. Pp. xxii + 759. (New York: J. Wiley and Sons; London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1911.) Price 21s. net.
