and Stafford, with descriptions of the coal fields and overlying 
formations, by Roderick Impey Murchison, F. R. S., F. L. $8., 
Vice President of the Geological Society of London, &c. &c. &c., 
in two parts. Part I, containing over 600 pages, large and full 
quarto, illustrated by 112 wood cuts and a map; with [3 pictur- 
esque views, generally colored, and several of them folded. Part 
If, Organic Remains and Sections, over 200 pages quarto, making 
more than 800 for the entire work. There are 27 lithographic 
plates for the organic remains, containing nearly 700 figures. 
The colored sections are nine, generally taree folded, and con- 
taining 111 distinct sub-sections. 
The country described by the author, after seven years of 
arduous exertion among the mountains and in the cabinet, is rep-_ 
resented on a splendid colored map of five feet by three, after the 
three sheets of which it is composed are duly joined. At the bot- 
tom of this map is an ideal colored section, representing all the 
rocks which are described by Mr. Murchison. 
For this magnificent work we are indebted to the accomplished 
author, who has achieved a signal triumph for British Geology 
and for the scietice itself.
