Bibliographica: Atlas général du Congo

Summary

This review assesses two publications on Africa: a tribal dictionary offering grammatical, etymological, and phonetic (IPA) information, praised as a mine of data but criticized for its alphabetical order that obscures a comprehensive view; and the I.R.C.B. General Atlas of the Congo, including five maps—population density, tsetse flies, anti-slavery campaigns, plant production, and frontiers. The reviewer notes their utility while pointing out specific shortcomings, such as inaccuracies in the vegetation map and an important missing name on the boundary map.
