Is the title of a publication, the fimt number of which has lately reached us from Hong. kong, where it has been set on foot as in some respecta a continuation of Notes and Queries en China and Japan, the extinction of which useful serial a year or two ago has been much regretted in Europe as well as in China. Thepresent publication, judging by the number now before us, is intended to occupy a position, as regards China and the neighbouring countries, somewhat similar to that which has been filled in India by the Calcutta Review. The great degree of at tention that has been bestowed of late years In Gold & Coloured Borders & Patterns upon the investigation of Chinese literature, antiquities, and social developments, to say nothing of linguistio studies, has led to the accumulation of important stores of inform atlon, rendering some snob channel of pub. lidity as is now provided extremely deair. ablo; and contributions of much interest may fairly be looked for from the members of the foreign consular services, the Chinese AGREEMENTS Customs corps, and the missionary body,
