Abstract
FOLLOWING the earlier studies of the igneous and metamorphic rocks of the mining districts of California, there has more recently been an immense amount of detailed and accurate work devoted to stratigraphical geology and palæontology by the geologists of large oil companies. As a result, much information, widely scattered in the literature and in private reports, is available for an adequate interpretation of the larger problems of regional and historical geology. Synthesis has lagged behind, and the author of this admirable book has rendered valuable service not only to the geologists of the State, but also to a wider circle, by furnishing a simple, well written and beautifully illustrated account of the present status of geological investigation in California.
