The new Map for 1905 shows, in distinguishing colours, the Routes of Steamers and Railways throughout the World, with the East Bound and West Bound Lanes" across the Atlantic, and the Products, Ports, Coaling Stations, Coalfields, &c., of all Countries and Colonies. The inset maps show many of the great shipping centres and waterways of the world; and the British Empire is coloured red, so that it can be seen at a glance..

THE TARIFFS OF ALL NATIONS, AND OF THE COLONIES, have been revised up to the last available hour. A COMPLETE PORT AND HARBOUR DIRECTORY OF THE BRITISH ISLES, and A DIRECTORY OF ALL THE COMMERCIAL PORTS OF THE WORLD, arranged in Alphabetical Order, giving the particulars gathered from official sources, of the Accommodation, Charges, Tides, Trades, Pilotage, and Towage, have been revised up to the hour of printing.

The book also contains, with other information :-Admiralty Notes, Agreements, Balance Sheet of Commerce, Board of Trade Rules and Regulations, Cattle Trade Order, Coaling Stations, a Table of Consular Fees, a DIGEST OF THE SHIPPING ACTS OF 1894, Documents required for Clearing Ships, Engineering Notes and Formula, Information regarding the Examination of Masters and Engineers, Foreign Moneys, Weights and Measures, Imports and Exports, Lloyd's Signal Stations, Load-Line Tables, Marks, Regulations and Illustrations, Measurement of Ships, Pilotage Laws, Removal of Wrecks, Sailing Rules, Shipping Terms (Commercial), the Suez Canal and the Petroleum Regulations, Tables of Distances, Trade Statistics of the most recent dates, scientific information, tables, and a copious Index.

The Pilotage and Towage Rates are included in the Port Directory instead of under separate headings, thus enabling the reader to have at once before him all the information concerning each port.

Neither labour nor cost has been, or will be, spared to keep the SHIPPING WORLD YEAR BOOK in the position it has long enjoyed at the head of its class.

We have again to make acknowledgment to the Foreign Office, the officers and publications of the Board of Trade, of Lloyds, and Lloyds' Register, to many of our subscribers, to the various port authorities of the United Kingdom, the Colonies, and throughout the world, and especially to His Majesty's and the United States Consuls, for excellent and ungrudging service in supplying new facts, and making the necessary corrections for this Edition of 1905.

SUGGESTIONS FROM SUBSCRIBERS OF FEATURES OR INFORMATION TO BE INCORPORATED IN THE SHIPPING WORLD YEAR BOOK OF 1906 WILL BE WELCOMED.
