Abstract
IN this “Handbuch”, issued under the auspices of the Prussian Geological Survey in association with other German surveys, it is proposed to furnish a complete account of the German stratigraphical succession. The distribution, especially with regard to facies, the petrography, palæontology, tectonics, economics, and the whole genesis of each geological formation are to be described; where possible, geological maps are to accompany each volume. The “Handbuch” is to be completed in twelve volumes, of which this on alluvium is the first. The other volumes are to deal with Diluvium, Tertiary, Cretaceous, Jurassic, Trias, Zechstein, Rothliegendes, Carboniferous, Devonian, Silurian-Cambrian, and Crystalline Schists. The publication of a work of this scope is obviously an event of first-class importance in the study of European geology.
