Two handbooks which should be very useful to- travellers may

bo mentioned together. One is The Contour Road Book of Ireland, with Special Surveys by R. G. Inglis (Gall and Inglis, 2s. net). The cyclist will find here what sort of a country he is to pass over, what are the distances, what he has to look out for in the way of sights, &c. There is an index map, with references to a multitude of others setting forth various localities. The other belongs to the series of " Philips" Finger-Post ' Strip Maps" (G. Philip and Sons, ls. net), and has been put together by Mr. G. Fothergill. It gives the road from London to Exeter.
