PEREKOP TO ODESSA.

A new military map under this title has just been
published by Mr. James \Vyld, geographer to the Queen.
The map embraces the countries between Odessa and
Perekop, with the various routes and the stations of the
Russian forces, the marks indicative of which are coloured
so as at once to attract the eye and be taken in as a
comprehensive whole. The map stretches even further
on either hand than the above places, extending from
the Dniester river in the north to the Putrid Sea in the
south, and from Nicolaieff to the Black Sea beyond the
Tendra Peninsula. The value of the map is increased
by the statistical information which accompanies it, the
number and strength and localities of the Odessa batte-
ries, the distribution of the Russian army in Southern
Russia, &c., being given. It is still further increased
by its timely appearance, now that Southern Russia is
the point of general attraction, and will meet with a
corresponding welcome.
