Abstract
(1) THE appearance of a revised edition of Hatch and Wells's “Petrology of the Igneous Rocks” is a matter of interest to British petrologists, since this has long been a standard text-book in British universities. Owing to the death of Dr. Hatch, the work is now, so far as the introduction of new matter is concerned, that of Dr. Wells, and this author has incorporated in the new edition, not only new material but also new ideas.
