ABSTRACT THIS work, which has evidently been successful, is of the type commonly used in German-speaking schools, and makes no special appeal to the beginner's interest in

field-observation, or to the splendid object-lessons ranged around him in his native land of Switzerland. A number of Swiss illustrations are, however, inserted, and the passages on

mountain-building and the Alpine lakes embody considerations raised in recent times. To a British mind the mineralogical section will seem to contain far too much in a small compass, if the

course is to be gone through systematically before the pupil enters on his collegiate years. It occupies half the book, and is followed by a petrographic chapter, which similarly bears

traces of having been brought somewhat hesitatingly towards modern modes of statement and classification. Mineralogie und Geologie für schweizerische Mittelschulen. By Dr. Hans Frey. Dritte
