Geological Map of the British Isles Mineralogical Geology: a Synopsis for the Use of Students

Abstract

THE first of these works is by a long way the best and most convenient geological map of the British Isles, both for lecturers and students; and this new and greatly revised edition has added considerably to its utility. It is, indeed, not likely to have a serious rival until the completion of the index-maps of the Geological Survey; and these will still be on too large a scale for the purposes of a comprehensive view. On the present map, fourteen miles go to an inch; and we are glad to see that a scale of kilometers is added. The colouring is clear and bold; and a number of small-type notes along the coast call attention to local details, as is customary in British maps of an educational character.
