Abstract
THE area covered by this work is some 25,000 square miles in the central, northern, western, and north-western parts of the State of Arkansas, constituting the highlands and embracing the well-known physiographic elements the Ozark Plateau, the Arkansas River Valley, and the Ouachita Mountains. The volume is of interest to geologists generally because of the good account of the different palaeozoic faunas given, an account enhanced in value by the excellent illustrations of the characteristic fossils. In fact, the illustrations as a whole are such a conspicuous feature that they may almost be said to make the book. Certainly, some of them depicting field-features would adorn many a well-recommended text-book of physical geology, and it is a pity that they are comparatively lost in a State survey memoir.
