The Geological Record for 1877. An Account of Works on Geology, Mineralogy, and Palæontology published during the Year, with Supplements for 1874–1876

Abstract

WE hail with pleasure the appearance of the fourth volume of this most valuable work. The indefatigable editor deserves all praise for the energy with which he has worked in getting together a staff of volunteers to compile the useful abstracts of contents of the numerous works and memoirs noticed in this volume of 432 pages. It is unfortunate that the work has now fallen two years into arrear, but, now that the staff of contributors seems to have fairly settled down to its work, we hope the editor will soon be able to recover lost time, and that each succeeding volume will appear within the year following that for which it is issued. The editor has been very happy in discovering a method by which the officers on the staff of the Geological Survey may usefully employ their leisure, by contributing to geological literature, and we heartily wish him success in his work.
