Abstract
THERE are few districts in Europe which have attracted so much attention from geologists as that which is described in the splendid monograph now lying before us. Whether we consider the richness and variety of the palæontological treasures yielded by the world-famed deposits of St. Cassian, the wonderfully dissected volcanic centres of Monzoni and Predazzo, or the remarkable illustrations of the action of denuding forces still at work in the Alpine regions, as illustrated by the picturesque ruin-like masses of the dolomitic limestones and the singular earth-pillars of Botzen, the area must be admitted to be worthy of the celebrity which it enjoys among the cultivators of all branches of geological science.
