An interesting paper on Japan, geographical and social, was recently read at the American Geographical Society, by the Rev W. E. Griffis, who took advantage of several years' residence in Japan as an official professor in physical science to study Japan and the Japanese in various aspects. In his paper he gives a brief sketch of the history of Japan, and adduces a variety of facts which show in an impressive way the astonishing progress which the country has made within the past few years. With... regard to the mapping of their country, they have exhibited wonderful energy, their productions in this respect not suffering much in comparison with the best specimens of cartography in Europe and America. They have shown so much independence as to take the meridian of Tokio as their first, computing their longitude east or west therefrom. Professor Ernest Knipping, aii accom- plished German engineer and geographer in the Japanese service, has prepared a large new map of Japan, in minute detail, which we believe is being prepared for publication by Stanford of London.
