Abstract

THE above three works together provide for the student a rich treasury of information relative to the characters of meteorites. The first two illustrate, by the aid of photography, the structure and composition of the more typical meteoric stones and irons respectively. The work dealing with the meteoric stones is complete in three parts, including 25 large plates, and has been undertaken by Prof. Tschermak, who had charge of the Vienna Collection of Minerals from 1869 to 1877. Of that which relates to the meteoric irons only two parts have as yet appeared, but they comprise no fewer than 24 large plates: it is undertaken jointly by Dr. Brezina, who succeeded Prof. Tschermak in the keepership of the Vienna Collection, and by Prof. E. Cohen, of Greifswald, whose series of micro-photographs of sections of terrestrial minerals and rocks is so well known.
