Abstract
DR. AVELING has compiled a volume better, in many respects, than any of its kind. His arrangement of matter has much to commend it, and his descriptions are of the concise character regarded with favour by those who incline to a pabulum consisting of concentrated essence of knowledge. The book is another of that large class “specially adapted for the use of candidates for the London B.Sc. and the Science and Art Department Examinations.” Intending examinees would do well to obtain it, but the student who loves geology for its own sake will hardly find the contents to his liking.
