Abstract
THE fourth of the volumes of Prof. Krenkel's monumental work, “Geologie der Erde”, is the first part of the second volume of Prof, von Bubnoff's “Geologie von Europa” and is a valuable monograph on the older geology of the extra-Alpine regions of north-western Europe. It is entitled the “Kaledoniden und Varisciden” and adopts the term Caledonids in the extended sense for all the pre-Permian mountains and not only for those of the Middle Palæozoic. That extension involves a double use of the word and makes it applicable to a greater range in time than when used for one of the main orogenic epochs—the “Kaledonische Discordanz” (p. 607).
