Travel and Description continued. 



In Search of El Dorado: A Wanderer's Experi- 

 ences. By ALEXANDER MACDONALD, F.R.G.S. With Thirty-two 

 Illustrations. Demy 8vo, cloth. 



Readers with a taste for adventure will find this book a storehouse of good things, for 

 in the course of various mineralogical expeditions the author has roughed it in many 

 remote quarters of the globe, and a large share of strange and thrilling experiences has 

 fallen to his lot. At the same time he possesses a literary skill with which few travellers 

 are gifted. 



The episodes in his career which the book relates fall under three heads. In Part I, 

 "The Frozen North," he gives some vivid sketches of rough and tumble life in the 

 Klondyke region ; Pctrt II, " Under the Southern Cross," describes his adventures while 

 prospecting for gold in Western Australia ; Part III, "Promiscuous Wanderings," tells 

 of his experiences in the Queensland Back-Blocks. in the Opal Fields of New South 

 Wales, in British New Guinea, in the Gum Land of Wangeri, New Zealand, and with the 

 Pearlers of Western Australia. 



CLIMBERS' GUIDES SERIES. 



Edited by Sir MARTIN CONWAY and the Rev. W. A. B. COOLIDGE. 

 SECOND EDITION. THOROUGHLY REVISED. 



The Central Alps of the Dauphiny. By w. A. B. 



COOLIDGE, H. DUHAMEL, and F. PERRIN. Small 8vo, cloth. 



Since the first English edition of this work (originally published in French in 1887) was 

 issued in 1892, the group of mountains of which it treats has been more minutely explored. 

 New routes have been effected up some peaks, several points have been climbed and 

 named, and the topography of one or two districts has been cleared up. The present 

 edition therefore (brought up to the end of 1904) marks a great advance in point of 

 completeness on that of 1892, while its slightly altered arrangement, by which the groups 

 north and south of the main group are distinguished from it, makes it easier to consult. 



Ethiopia in Exile : Jamaica Revisited. B y B 



PULLEN-BURRY, Author of " Jamaica As It Is." Crown 8vo, cloth. 



This work deals primarily with Jamaica. Descriptions of sufferers from the cyclone of 

 August, 1903, are given, with information regarding the actual losses sustained. 



The growing tourist traffic, the retrenchment policy of the Government, its over- 

 officialism, the severe blow to the island revenues in the loss of Port Royal as a naval 

 centre are topics discussed, also apparent signs of coming upheaval in agriculture, 

 attention now being directed to the growing of cotton, cassava, and other products. The 

 status of the peasantry is reviewed, and their immunity from crime compared with that 

 of their kindred in the United States is pointed out. Several chapters are devoted to 

 sociological and other studies of the negro, and the book concludes with a desctiption of 

 the writer's unique experiences during a visit, at the time of President Roosevelt's 

 re-election to the Presidency, to the negro settlement established by Booker Washington, 

 the ex-slave, at Tuskegee, Alabama.
