Abstract
MR. PENZER, on behalf of the Federation of British Industries, has undertaken with conspicuous success the task of summarising the information hitherto inconveniently scattered through various unrelated publications concerning the mineral resources of the province of Burma. He has taken care to secure the co-operation of recognised authorities with special local experience, such as Sir George Scott, Mr. La Touche, and Dr. Coggin Brown; and the result is a reference work of exceptional value to prospectors and commercial men. In addition to precise summaries of the recorded information regarding each mineral occurrence, the book contains a very useful sketch of the physical geography, geology, history, administrative systems and communications of Burma, a full index to the local vernacular names in common use, and a very full, conveniently classified bibliography.
