宋范致明撰，一卷。今流传有《古今逸史》本，明嘉靖刻本，《永乐大典》辑本。范致明字晦叔，建安人，元符中登进士第。此书系范以宣德郎谪监岳州商税时所作。全书不分目，随事记载。虽仅一卷，但内容详实，对郡县沿革、山川改易、古迹存亡的考证，皆确有引据，不同于其他地志的附会。如《太平寰宇记》谓长江流入洞庭，比书则谓洞庭汇入长江，长江不入洞庭，惟荆江夏秋暴涨乃逆泛而入，三五日即还，名曰“翻流水”;又如《水经注》谓澧水会合沅水，然后入洞庭湖，此书则谓澧、沅虽然相通，却各自入湖，澧水入湖处名澧口，沅水入湖处名鼎江口等，均是。书中所记其他轶闻逸事，亦颇资采择，叙述尤为雅洁，《四库全书总目》称此书“在宋人风土书中，可谓佳本矣。”
