Abstract
PROF. SERGITTS VON BUBNOFF is well known, especially from his “Geology of Europe.” In this monograph he gives a detailed account of the southwestern margin of the Black Forest, with special reference to its contact phenomena and intrusion-tectonics, a term familiar from its use by Prof. F. E. Suess for the mountains to the east. Prof, von Bubnoff holds that the schists and gneiss of the Black Forest are older than the granitic intrusions. He rejects the view that the metamorphic rocks were formed in Upper Palaeozoic times, and expresses doubts as to this age for those in the Variscan Mountains. The book is illustrated with excellent maps and plates, and is an important contribution to the geology of south-western Germany.
