Abstract
DR. WELLS'S new book, although essentially a text-book of stratigraphy, is something more than a formal descriptive catalogue of the various divisions and subdivisions of the geological column. It is an excellent general account of British stratigraphy, pleasantly written in the form of a continuous narrative, and very fully illustrated by line drawings, many of which have been specially prepared.
