Abstract
THE first volume of this treatise was reviewed in NATURE for January 28, 1915 (vol. xciv., p. 583). The second volume completes the work so far as ore-deposits are concerned. The third volume does not appear as yet to have been published in Germany. Ore-deposits are classified according to their mode of origin as follows: magmatic segregations, contact-deposits, lodes, and ore-beds. The first volume dealt with the first two of these groups and with tin-lodes and quicksilver deposits belonging to the third. The second volume deals with lodes of gold and silver; lead, silver, and zinc; uranium; antimony; iron; manganese; copper; pyrites and arsenopyrites; nickel and cobalt. It concludes with an account of those ores which occur as beds in sedimentary deposits. Each section is preceded by a bibliography.
