The first volume contains information of a general nature. The other volumes are devoted to the detailed description of topographical features, railways, roads, and cities. The second volume deals with the western part of the peninsula up to the Dalaman Chai, the rim of the plateau, and the route of the Anatolian Railway from Afium Kara Hissar to Izmid. To the third volume (divided into three parts) are assigned the mountains of the north from the Bosporus to the Halys, the central plains from Eski Shehir to Kaisari, and the mountains of the south from the Dalaman Chai to the Lamas Su. The fourth volume contains a description of the eastern part of the peninsula, and is divided into two parts, devoted respectively to the region between the Black Sea and Kaisari and to the country round the Gulf of Alexandretta - Cilicia, Antitaurus, and North Syria.
