These notes, which deal with pen keeping and with planting, are written by .some of the foremost agriculturists of the island or by officers of the Agricultural Department. This little book is nicely got up and copiously illustrated. The illustrations show typical scenery and places of interest, as well as some of the principal cultivations and typical Jamaica jiolo ponies. An ajipendix contains a list of works of reference cm Jamaica and a list of the imblications of the Institute of Jamaica. There is also a gocd map (20x8 inches) of the island, which will be found very useful for tourists, who are likely to be interested also in the notes on fishing, shooting. and other forms of sport. Mr. Cundall is to be congratulated upon the appearance of this new issue, which, in addition to serving its i>urpose in supplying information for intending settlers, should also prove an acceptable guide for tourists and visitors, to the requirements of whom a special chapter is devoted.
