Abstract
A LTHOUGH only twenty months have passed since Central California was devastated and San Francisco destroyed, partly by earthquake but largely by fire, some fifty papers have appeared from technical and other journals describing this great catastrophe. The last appears as a Bulletin (No. 324, Series R, Structural Materials, 1) of the U.S. Geological Survey. It is a volume of 158 pp., illustrated by fifty-seven excellent process plates, in addition to which there are two maps. The introduction is by Dr. G. K. Gilbert, and it treats of the earthquake as a natural phenomenon.
