Although longer than other volumes in the series of Oxford Regional Atlases, it is in the same format (10″x7 1/2″) and has been devised along similar lines. It has 43 pages of topographical maps, followed by 69 pages of maps of the whole continent at 1/25m scale, dealing with subjects ranging from solid geology to the distribution of locusts. there is also a gazetteer of some 18,000 entries and a text of economic comment and statistics by Miss Peter Ady, Fellow of St. Anne’s College, Oxford.
