THIS conveniently arranged pocket-book is the most recent addition to the “Climbers' Guides” edited by Sir Martin Conway and the Rev. W. A. B. Coolidge. The southern inmit of the region described is the Rhone Valley from Martigny to Leuk; and the northern is marked by the low passes leading from the Ormonts-Leesus glen to Kandersteg by the heads of the Grande Eau, the Sarine, the Simme, and the Kander valleys, which mark it off from the foothills. The preface of the book directs attention to the fact that the present is the jubilee year of the formation of the Alpine Club and of the ascents of the Oldenhorn and the Wildstrubel, and we are confident that the increase in the number of climbers during the last fifty years will ensure a wide popular? for this workmanlike volume of “marching orders.”
