Abstract
PROF. ROVERETO, of the University of Genoa, has prepared an elaborate and beautifully illustrated text book of geo-morphology which should be of wide service to geologists and geographers, owing to its authoritative account of the physical geology of Italy, its copious bibliographies thereon, and its clear explana tion of Italian geological terminology. It also includes a wide selection of references to the cosmopolitan literature on the subject. As might be expected from the previous contributions of the author, the volume draws many illustrations from South America, and the section on mountain structure, which is illustrated by an instructive map of the tectonic divisions of Italy, is of especial interest.
