Abstract
A NEW “red” book dealing with petroleum has appeared recently as a small volume uniform with the well-known monographs of the Imperial Institute. It is a type of publication that was much needed, since it embodies in summary form the main geographical, geological and economic features of the world's oil-fields. At the present time this information is very scattered, more particularly in connection with British resources, so that a scientific discussion of the subject, at once lucid and easily accessible, forms a welcome addition to official technical literature.
