Book Notices. 



The Department of the Interior has recently published in book form 

 a " Dictionary of Altitudes in Canada," by Jas. White, Esq., F.R.G.S. 

 The data are substantially the same as in this author's well known 

 "Altitudes in Canada," but in the present issue places in each 

 Province are arranged alphabetically, and the work makes a most 

 convenient volume for reference. In the several columns are given the 

 name of the station, its location, the elevation, and the source of the 

 information. There is to be a relief map of the Dominion that will 

 give a synoptic view of the broad features of the country, and will 

 issue from the Press presently as provision is made for it. 



The book will fill a distinct want on many bookshelves, and there 

 should be a considerable demand for it, from the general public as well 

 as professional and scientific men, to whom altitudes are a matter of 

 frequent concern. 



Mr. White is to be congratulated on the style, finish, and 

 accuracy of his work. 



C. J. S.
