BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES. 



The Ground beneath us : its Geological Phases and Changes. By 

 J. Prestwich, F.R.S. &c. London : J. Van Voorst. 1857. 



The geological researches of Mr. Prestwich and their results have 

 been long well known and fully appreciated. Many years has he 

 devoted to the elucidation of the history of the Tertiary deposits of 

 this country ; nor have his investigations been in vain, or unproductive 

 of useful consequences ; for his researches, independently of their 

 scientific bearings, have been also of a practical kind, as is evinced 

 in the publication of his useful work, * The Water-bearing Strata of 

 the Country around London*,' a notice of which appeared in a pre- 

 vious Number of this Journal.
