Abstract

THE geology of our overseas dominions has been described in a host of publications, many of which are difficult of access and full of local and technical detail. A compact volume, such as the one under notice, in which the outstanding facts concerning the several regions are presented in brief but readable form, cannot fail to meet with a warm welcome. It will appeal not only to students faced with the difficult task of acquiring a general knowledge of world stratigraphy, but also to all who wish to know the larger geological facts of our Empire abroad.
