Abstract
PROF. B. GUTENBERG, a very distinguished seismologist, is general editor and chief author of what our German colleagues call a handbook of geophysics, in ten mighty volumes. There are more than forty other contributors. The two parts under review form the first instalment. The whole, when complete, should be a very comprehensive account of the whole of geophysics, particularly welcome on account of the scattered nature of the literature of the subject.
Handbuch der Geophysik.
