Abstract
IN undertaking to produce a new edition of Hochstetter's share in the Allgemeine Erdkunde, Prof. Brückner very wisely determined to rewrite the whole section, and so to bring it into line with contemporary methods and results. The scope of this treatise on the crust of the earth and its forms includes a sketch of petrography, geological structure, stratigraphy, the agencies which work on the earth's surface (classed as endogenous and exogenous), the forms of the crust, and the morphology of the land-surface.
