Abstract
AS the field of the geographical explorer daily narrows, so do the number and excellence of books dealing with geographical exploration continually increase. The book under review treats of the determination of time, latitude and azimuth with a transit theodolite, and the methods described are the simplest in use by the explorer; it will serve, however, as an introduction to field astronomical, methods generally.
