Asia. 



The Fortnightly Magazine for June has two articles on 

 Asiatic Ethnology. One is by Mr. James Bryce, on the Fut- 

 ure of Asiatic Turkey, and the other by W. R. Greg, on Asi- 

 atic Forces in our European Wars. The breaking-out of the 

 Afghan war has made this res-ion a field of renewed ethno- 

 graphic interest. A commission of the Russian Geographical 

 Society has been engaged in collecting materials for a work 

 upon the geography, ethnography, and statistics of Asiatic 

 Russia. 



The explorations of M. Prejevalsky in Central Asia, from 

 Kuldja across the Thian Shan to Lob Nor and the Allyn Tag, 

 form the 53d Erganzungsheft to Petermann's 3Iittheilungen, 

 and are noticed, with a map, in the Geographical Magazine 

 for May. Thanks to the University of Moscow, and the 

 mission of M. Ujfalvy, Central Asia was well represented at 

 the Paris Exposition.

 Further India and the Indian Archipelago. Without ventur- 

 ing to criticise the accuracy of the boundaries, it is but just 

 to say that the method of administering the colors is very 

 excellent. The following works and memoirs on India are 

 worthy of attention: "Modern India and the Indians," by 

 Monier Williams (Triibner & Co.); "A Statistical Account 

 of Bengal," in 20 volumes, by W. W. Hunter, same publisher; 

 "The Languages and Races of Dardistan," by G. W. Leitner, 

 Lahore ; " Notes but les Bahmars," by Dr. A. Morice, in the 

 Revue d' 'Anthropologic, pp. 626-665 ; and " The Inland Tribes 

 of Great Nicobar," by Fr. de Roepstorff, in the Geographical 

 Magazine for February. The Journal of the Anthropologi-

 on the Andamanese. Of the Indian exhibit in Paris, Dr.
