Abstract
THE important volume referred to below is bountifully illustrated with photographs, sections, and maps, and gives a comprehensive account of. some 150 square miles in the midst of the Cali-fornian oilfields, a territory which provides nearly half the oil which the State produces, and includes its greatest oilfield. Here, too, is the famous “Lake-view Gusher,” which yielded 8,000,000 barrels of oil in eighteen months. The area has been discussed previously both by State and Federal geologists, notably some ten years ago by R. Arnold, H. Johnson, and R. Anderson in Bulletins 406 and 471, but since that time there has been much further development, and many new facts are available.
