Abstract
(I) THE interaction between the relief of the land and its climate, between the passive, or physiographic, factors and the active, or human, factors in the development of the life of a country is strikingly Illustrated by this book on New South Wales, which summarises the latest information regarding that region. The student, who has hitherto had to search through the volumes of various scientific societies for his facts, will be grateful to the authors, not only for this concise summary, but also for the coherence with which the facts have been collated. The treatment of climate and that of the development of the physical features of the country seem the most valuable parts of a thoroughly sound exposition.
