MAP SHOWING POSITION OF VENICE ON A GROUP OF MUD BANKS (PP. 607, 619) These mud banks and, in fact, all the low, flat plain between the Alps and the Apennines (see map, page 628) have been built up by the silt brought down from the mountains by the rivers Po, Adige, etc. Ravenna, for instance, 2,ooo years ago was the Portsmouth of Em peror Augustus, and 250 large galleys could ride at anchor in its harbor, which is now a marshy plain six miles from the sea-coast. SPECIAL NOTICE The July number will contain a very comprehensive map of Europe, 28 x 30 inches, and in four colors, which will prove invaluable for following the trend of military events in the war zones, while the August number will print a series of 90 pictures in colors, showing the game birds of North America. These numbers will prove of such great permanent value that it is hoped every member of the Na tional Geographic Society who wishes the address of the Magazine changed for summer months will notify the office im mediately. The post-office does not for ward magazines. Advise the Society now of any change of address, so that these valuable numbers will not be lost. CAPUCHIN MONKS, OF WHOM THERE ARE MANY IN TYROL: INNSBRUCK Though "the poorest of all orders," the brown-habited Capuchins have attracted to their ranks an extraordinary number of nobles and even some princes.
