Abstract
THE flood of German geological literature that began after the War continues to rise so rapidly that many worthy contributions must perforce be given scant attention by geologists to whose special interests they do not immediately refer. It is therefore important to insist upon the outstanding virtues of this short but brilliant book by Prof, von Bubnoff. As a philosophical treatment of the methods and fundamental problems of geology it is unsurpassed, and it is not too much to say that no geologist, be he practitioner, teacher, or advanced student, could fail to profit from a careful reading of this stimulating, clearly expressed, and fair-minded survey of his subject.
