Abstract
IN the interval since the publication of the first edition of Dr. Fox's book (noticed in NATURE, 120, 800; 1927), a feature of the bauxite industry has been the increased production from southern Europe, in particular from Hungary and Yugoslavia. Most of the new matter in the second edition results from a visit by the author, in company with local geologists and mining engineers, to the deposits of Austria, Hungary, Italy and Yugo slavia. The exact mode of origin of the important European deposits has always been a matter of some uncertainty, and linguistic difficulties have tended to hamper British geologists in the study of the literature of these deposits. New information on this subject is therefore welcome.

By Dr. Cyril S. Fox. Second edition, partly rewritten and enlarged. Pp. xxxi + 312. (London: Crosby Lockwood and Son, 1932.) 30s. net.
