Having obtained an additional grant from the British Association, we venture this year to add a new feature to our Report in the form of a sketch-map, showing all the stations in red. We have done this at the intelligent request of several of our reporters and the map has been executed for us by Messrs. Macfarlane Erskine, of St. James' Square, Edinburgh.
