GEOLOGY OF THE BRITISH 

 EMPIRE. 



By F. R. C. REED, M.A., Sc.D., F.G.S. 

 With numerous Maps. Demy 8w. 40s. net. 



Apart from certain standard works on the geology of India, 

 South Africa, New Zealand, and a few other countries, much of 

 our knowledge of the geology of the various distinct parts of the 

 British Empire is scattered through the pages of scientific 

 journals and Government memoirs, or is found in foreign publi- 

 cations, most of which are difficult of access for the ordinary 

 student, or too technical in character for the general reader. 



To bring these scattered materials together and to present a 

 connected and comprehensive view of the subject is the intention 

 of the present work, which is based upon the author's lectures to 

 students at Cambridge University during the last ten years. 



While it is not possible to deal exhaustively with the geo- 

 logical formations of each country in a work of this kind, yet it 

 will be found that all the salient features are considered, and the 

 bibliography at the end of each section, giving a selection of the 

 more important references to the geological literature, will indi- 

 cate to those who desire further information the sources from 

 which it can be obtained. 



Special attention has been devoted throughout the book to 

 those deposits of economic importance, a separate section being 

 devoted to economic geology in the description of each area. 

 The geological maps and sections will prove of great assistance 

 when used in conjunction with the text. 



It will be seen that this book is a valuable work of reference, 

 not only for all geologists, mining engineers, and civil engineers 

 who are engaged in the investigation of the geological formations, 

 or in the development of the mineral resources of the British 

 Empire, but also for the general reader who is interested in their 

 economic development.
