Abstract
THE present volume of “Die Binnengewässer” is a treatise on carbonic acid and chalk in fresh waters. It is a comprehensive work and, like all the previous parts, covers much ground, and the subject is considered from many different aspects. The three parts into which it is divided deal respectively with chemical constants and theories of solubility, inorganic and organic precipitation, and the most important chalk deposits. Compared with the condition in the sea, the part played by living organisms in connexion with the precipitation of chalk is small; the various chemical and physical factors are much more important in fresh waters. The research of the various specialists in these subjects is fully described, and there is a bibliography of 26 pages, making this volume a most satisfactory work of reference.
