Abstract
THE two concluding volumes of Prof. Hettner's treatise on physical geography adhere to the principles laid down in vol. 1 and, while he deals with the continental areas in particular, he includes also the oceanic islands but excludes the oceans themselves. In some respects it is to be regretted that this omission has been considered desirable, for the complete work is one of considerable value, and its usefulness would have been enhanced by the inclusion of a section on oceanography.
