Abstract
GEOLOGISTS, and especially students of Asiatic geology, owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. La Touche for having prepared, and to the Geological Survey of India for publishing, these two useful volumes, which the printer and paper-maker have made distinctly portly. The first is a bibliography of all that has been published regarding the geology of India and adjacent countries, arranged by authors, with a separate heading for all anonymous writings, and we note that Mr. La Touche has refrained from the needless pedantry of classing those unsigned contributions as anonymous of which the authorship was openly avowed and is well known. The bibliography seems very complete, for a somewhat critical search has failed to discover any omissions and has met with only one error, where two authors, who happen to have the same surname and initials, have had their separate identities merged into one person.
