Abstract
THE oil industry is one of the most important of any, and it is in keeping with its rapid expansion that it has an ever-extending literature of the first rank which, perhaps more than any other, is continually being revised and kept up to date. In Great Britain we are fortunate in that Prof. A. W. Nash of Birmingham is willing to devote a large portion of his time to making his knowledge available to his students and contemporaries.
