Abstract
THE interesting facts made known of late years by Prof. Möhl, of Cassel, and Dr. Bořický, of Prague, as the result of their study of the microscopic characters of the vitreous and semi-vitreous rocks of basic composition, have rendered it eminently desirable that a thorough investigation of the remarkable lavas of the Sandwich Islands should be undertaken by some competent observer. We therefore hail the appearance of the monograph now before us as supplying a want which has been felt for some time past by all who are interested in micro-petrographic studies.
