Abstract
A STRUCTURA map of 20,000 square kilometres of north-west Germany has been on view in the new building of the Department of Geology and Mineralogy at Oxford as part of the exhibition of oilfield development held there to commemorate the opening of the building by the Vice-Chancellor on July 7 and the subsequent meeting of the Empire Mining and Metallurgical Congress. This map represents the greatest single contribution to tectonic geology to be published since the appearance of the tectonic map of the United States produced by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists under the guidance of the U.S. Geological Survey.
