Das Antlitz der Erde Namens und Sachregister für Sämtliche Bände The Face of the Earth

Abstract

ALL geologists will join in hearty congratulations to Prof. Suess on the completion of his great work, the influence of which has been spreading steadily since the appearance of its first part in 1883. Prof. Suess's views were opposed to such cherished traditions that they were naturally at first regarded with suspicion; but many of his conclusions have been now generally accepted, and his illuminating suggestions have stimulated much fertile research. The last section of the work (vol. iii., part ii.) is accompanied by a series of most valuable maps and a detailed locality index of 158 pages, prepared by Dr. Lukas Waagen. The concluding part shows Prof. Suess's wide acquaintance with the whole literature of stratigraphical geology, which he interprets with characteristic insight and originality. The summary of recent geological work on various remote regions would alone ensure this volume a warm welcome from its usefulness as a work of reference, apart from its place as the completion of one of the standard works in geological literature.
