De la Cote (Tlvoire au Soudan et a la Guinie, par le Capitaine- 

 d'OUone, Paris, 1901. — This is a work of primary importance on Eastern 

 and Northern Liberia. The author, together with M. Hostains, first delineated 

 with more or less accuracy on the map of Africa the eastern regions of 

 Liberia. His book is not by any means fair to the Liberian Government,, 

 as apparently one of its objects was to decry the results achieved by the 

 Negro Republic so as to prepare the mind of his readers for a possible ex- 

 tension of French influence over these regions. But if the writer of the 

 book had these intentions they were not carried into effect by his Govern- 

 ment, and we owe to him and to his collaborator, M. Hostains, a great deal 

 of valuable information on the geography, peoples, and fauna of Eastern 

 Liberia. The book is well illustrated, chiefly from photographs. 



Le Boucle du Niger, etc., par la Colonel L. G. Binger, Paris, 1890. — A. 

 description of Binger's great journey, useful for understanding the Mandingo 

 question. 



Notre Colonic de la Cote dlvoire, by MM. Villamur et Richard, with, 

 a preface by L. G. Binger. — This is an excellent description of the French 

 colony of the Ivory Coast which adjoins Liberia. It commences with a 

 historical summary of the connection of France with the regions immediately 

 to the east of Liberia.
