Africa . African geography; the natural features of the continent,its many kingdoms, states, and colonies, with their inhabit-ants, are concisely described, as well as the productions andlegitimate commerce of its various regions, and the rootsand branches of its great malady, the slave trade, whichaffects it so deeply in every part. Two original papers have been appended. The first of .these, on the classification of the African races, deals witha subject which is of the utmost consequence in the prob- \lem of the future development of the continent. In thisview the distinctions of race, of language, traditions, andtemperament of its inhabitants, cannot be too closelystudied. The second Appendix, on the distribution of rain overAfrica month by month, has also a practical value in viewof future exploration and survey of the continent, inpointing out those times and seasons which are most suit-able for travel and geographical work in its differentregions.
