IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEflENT I 

 THE 



INTERNATIONAL 

 GEOGRAPHY. 



The last few years have proved so rich in geographical discov- 

 eries that there has been a pressing need for a resume of recent ex- 

 plorations and changes which should present in convenient and 

 accurate form the latest results of geographical work. The addi- 

 tions to our knowledge have not been limited to Africa, Asia, and 

 the Arctic regions, but even on our own continent the gold of the 

 Klondike has led to abetter knowledge of the region, while within 

 a short time we shall have much more exact geographical informa- 

 tion concerning the numerous islands which make up the Philippines. 

 The want which is indicated will be met by The International Geog- 

 raphy, a convenient volume for the intelligent general reader, and 

 the library which presents expert summaries of the results of geo- 

 graphical science throughout the world at the present time. 



Seventy authors, all experts, have collaborated in the production 

 of The International Geography . The contributors include the lead- 

 ing geographers and travelers of Europe and America. The work 

 has been planned and edited by Dr. H. R. Mill, who also wrote 

 the chapter on The United Kingdom. Among the authors are : 



Professor W. M. Davis (The United States),
