Abstract
THE author of this work is already known to us as one of the compilers of the geological map of France, as also for his valuable researches on the geology of Madagascar and Morocco. The present volume treats of an area which geologically has, perhaps, been more completely studied than any other part of the world by such eminent authorities as Lamarck, Cuvier, Brongniart, Orbigny, Deshayes, Hébert, Barrois, de Lapparent, G. F. Dollfus, Cossmann, H. Douvillée, and a host of others. Some eight hundred titles of books and papers arranged alphabetically under authors' names form the bibliography, although, we are informed, this is by no means to be regarded as a complete list of the literature.
