Abstract
THIS memoir is a new departure on the part of the Geological Survey, being devoted only to applied geology, to questions which have for a long time caused the flow of a steady stream of inquirers to Jermyn Street. It shows how useful is some knowledge of geology to the proper understanding of many matters that are ever cropping up, privately in such things as the choice of a site for a dwelling, and publicly in such as water-supply for a district.
