Abstract
THE practical problems involved in the interpretation of geological and topographical maps are here dealt with in a manner likely to appeal to students of geology and civil engineering. Having worked his way through the book, a student should be able to draw sections of the country shown upon a map, to estimate the thickness of the strata of which the area is built, and to understand the relations of the strata to the surface of the ground and to each other.
