Abstract
THIS excellent bibliography represents months of patient labour spent on a bewildering but necessary task, and now happily carried to a successful termination. The whole civilised world appears to have had something to say on African geology. The labour entailed in drawing up these lists, which easily supersede all others, will therefore be obvious. The author has had, indeed, to exercise considerable acumen in discarding numerous papers, &c, often containing mere references to geology, in order to bring the lists even within their present compass. As it is, a few works, since they are mentioned in earlier lists, have had to be included, although they add little to geological literature. The title is generally sufficient to warn the inquirer.
