physical conditions of soil and climate, ownership of land, agricultural methods, cost of production, distribution of the wheat areas, yield per acre, etc., are clearly discussed. Special attention is given to the "actual and potential" export of wheat from Russia to the great markets of Europe, as also to the competition it now gives or may be expected to give to the wheat and flour exports of the United States. This bulletin is one of a series, already prepared or in process of preparation, in which a study is made of the principal competitors of the United States in the matter of the disposal of surplus farm products.

"A History of the American Whale Fishery," by Walter S. Tower (University of Pennsylvania Publications, 1907), is intended to give a comprehensive review of the origin and development of the whaling industry from colonial times to the present. The volume has its particular value in the fact that it is the only complete history of its kind both as regards time and treatment. As the author pointed out, the latest work on the subject in question appeared in 1876 but the discussion was superficial, especially of the whole period after 1815. The present writer, unlike his predecessors, gives his work an economic bearing. Moreover, the social influence of this once important but now practically extinct enterprise is clearly presented. An appropriate setting is given to the early American industry by a chapter on the origin of whaling in Europe.
