408 Journal of Philology. Now I should bo greatly obliged to any one who can give mo such information about this Bornemiza* as may help to load me to discover what has become of his library : for there seems to bo a reasonable hope of recovering these fragments, if some little pains bo taken to investigate the matter. If any one examines Kiessling's work ho will see something about certain fragments of Hyperides discovered in a Palimpsest in the Vatican by Cardinal Mai, of which Kiessling could give no satisfactory account. These fragments are no other than those which are preserved by Dexippus, and which have been published by Mai and Niebuhr (see Mull. Fragm. Hist. Or. Vol. III. p. 668), as the lamented Cardinal him- self has lately informed me, adding, that he believed that no other frag- ments of this orator now exist in the library of the Vatican. They belong most evidently to one and the same oration, which ought to be entitled tear 'Avmrdrpov, and are of greater length than most of the other frag- ments of Hyperides which ancient writers have cited. Sauppe however, in his Oratores Attici, has entirely omitted six of them, and by a strange error has referred the seventh to the eWa$to?. Churchill Babington. Notices of New Books. An Atlas of Classical Geography, containing Twenty-four Maps: con- structed by William Hughes, and edited by George Long. With an Index of Places. London, Whittaker and Co. and George Bell. 1854. [This seems to bo upon the whole a more useful Atlas than any of the others that have lately been published for the use of Students at Schools. It is founded on more recent authorities than that of the Useful Know- ledge Society, contains more names, and those written less obtrusively than Mr Johnston's, has a bettor selection of maps than Butler's, and possesses an Index, which is a requisite not found in Reichanl and Forbiger's (5th ed. Norimbergso, 1853). There is no colour used for tho land, which, as commonly employed, is better away, and the maps arc clear, not over crowded with names, and, as far as we have noticed, generally accurate. On tho other hand, tho mountains are more than usually stiff and spurless : and the omission of all political boundaries is in somo maps to be regretted, notwithstanding the rather unintelligible reason for the omission given by Mr Long, that they cannot bo inserted "in small maps at least with sufficient accuracy." (Are not small maps the very ones in which inaccuracies get eliminated?) There is no one map giving the Greek colonies on the northern coast of tho Black Sea, (a frequent omission) and Egypt is prematurely cut off at the 28th degree of North
