Abstract
WHILE the attention of geologists is justly turned to physical considerations, in view of our immense ignorance of the inner constitution of the earth, it may be questioned if it is wise at the present time to inaugurate a special journal for geophysics. The first part of the Zeitschrift fur angewandte Geophysik is issued under the editorship of Dr. R. Ambronn, of Gottingen, by one of the most enterprising firms in Germany. Its thirty-two pages are priced at twenty English shillings, which puts it beyond the reach of scientific men who are also taxpayers in our islands. We cannot help feeling that the money would be better spent in supporting and, if necessary, enlarging the scope of one of the German geological journals that have already won a world-wide reputation.
