Abstract
THE exorbitant charge of 10.40 gold marks for this paper-bound pamphlet of 82 pages, with a dozen crude figures in the text, is probably due to some sale being assured as part of a series which contains some important works. The book is a useful summary of the geology of Flanders, and includes an instructive table (pp. 14-15) of the Belgian Kainozoic deposits. The book refers to the military engineering in the War, and to the victory at Messines having been achieved by the British mining having, unnoticed and unheard, deposited a million kilograms of explosive 20 metres below the lowest German counterworks.
