Abstract
THE “Summary of Progress” of the Geological Survey of Great Britain for 1929 is issued in three parts, of which the first is devoted to an account of the routine work during the year under review, while the others contain papers on subjects of special interest. Part 11 embodies the annual reports of the Geological Survey Board and of the Director. Sixty-six maps were published during 1929, with eight memoirs, which, with the exception of that dealing with Moreton in Marsh (see below), have already been noticed in our columns (NATURE, Aug. 16, 1930, p. 258). The memoirs in the press at the close of the year have since appeared and are reviewed below.
