Abstract
IN accordance with the modern tendency, Dr. Berg regards the study of mineral deposits as ‘applied geochemistry’. His book, moreover, does not deal exclusively with ore deposits in the strict sense but includes deposits of all the useful minerals. It is divided into two parts. Part 1 consists of an introduction to geochemistry, and treats of the general factors underlying the distribution and migration of elements within the crust and interior of the earth, and the particular factors upon which their local enrichment to workable bodies depends. In this part, is given a good summary of all modern work on the subject.
