Abstract
WHEN a British army was first sent to occupy Egypt, the late Prof. Huxley called upon the Royal Society to appoint a committee to arrange for a systematic study of that most interesting country. He justly pointed out how much the French Government had accomplished in the promotion of scientific research and in the publication of its results during their short period of occupation at the beginning of last century, and he declared that it would be a national disgrace if we failed to accomplish something of the same kind with our much greater opportunities. The Physiograhy of the River Nile and its Basin. By Captain H. G. Lyons, Director-General, Survey Department. Pp. viii + 411; with 48 plates.(Cairo: National Printing Department, 1906.)
