The Oil-Fields of Burma ¹

Abstract

THE appearance of this memoir will be welcomed equally by those who are engaged in the study of petroleum from a purely scientific point of view, and by those who are merely concerned with its profitable exploitation in Burma and other parts of the Indian Empire; not only because the author possesses a special knowledge of the subject in both aspects, but also because he has brought together, and arranged in a concise and readable manner, a mass of information that has hitherto been scattered through the pages of a voluminous literature, not always readily accessible.
