Geoloftical Record for 1878: Edited by W. Wuitaker and W. H. 

 Dalton. Pages xxxi. and 496. Published by Taylor and Francis. 

 Price (to subscribers) 10s. 6d. 



It is to be regretted that this volume is so late in making its appear- 

 ance. It is, of course, difficult for Mr. Whitaker so to manage his 

 team of sub-editors as to obtain from each and all of them the same 

 unwearying, continuous, and punctual attention as he himself, with 

 his excellent coadjutor, Mr. Dalton, devotes to the task of cataloguing 

 the geological work of each year ; but there are plenty of able workers 

 ready to lend a hand, and by making the necessary changes and, 

 perhaps, by further sub-dividing the work, a more early issue may be 

 hoped for in future, which, indeed, Mr. Whitaker promises. The 

 1878 volume is a bulky one, containing the titles of 3530 books, papers, 

 etc. Some of these are, however, omissions from previous years, from 

 1874 (when the first volume of the Geological Record was published) 

 to 1877 inclusive. We would suggest that it would be better to 

 reserve these omitted papers, and publish a list of them, say once in 

 every five or ten years, instead of every year as at present. They 

 would then be far more easily referred to.
