Abstract
GEOLOGISTS we are sometimes told, are a combative race. Geologists may fearlessly allow that the impeachment has a spice of truth in it. They may take comfort when they reflect that no serious consequences have ever followed from this tendency, in spite of the facilities which the formidable weapons they carry with them offer for pushing it to an extreme. Their healthy out-door life prompts banter, and the passes are apt to be so quick and keen that the uninitiated may be pardoned if they think the buttons are off the foils.
Outlines of Field Geology.
