Abstract
THE German Government has been, for the last two years, organising a national system for the preservation of the natural monuments of the country. During the last year the scheme has developed in comprehensiveness, and has produced gratifying results. There are now forty local committees, and at the end of last year the first Congress for Naturdenkmalpftege in Prussia was held at Berlin. A considerable number of valuable reports has been issued; the present volume, edited by the energetic Government Commissioner for the Care of Natural Monuments, Prof. Conwentz, contains a report of the congress, and a general report on the work of the past year up to March 31.
