" Few of our handbooks of popular science can be said to have greater or more decisive merit 

 than those of Mr Page on Geology and Pake-ontology. They are clear and vigorous in style, they 

 never oppress the reader with a pedantic display of learning, nor overwhelm him with a pompous 

 and superfluous terminology ; and they have the happy art of taking him straightway to the 

 face of nature hers. -If. int. ad of leading him by the tortuous and bewildering paths of technical 

 system and artificial classification." — Saturday Rfrh-ir. 



" Tills is one of the best of Mr Page's many good books. It is written in a flowing popular style. 

 JVithout illustration or any extraneous aid, the narrative must prove attractive to any intelligent 

 reader."— Geological Magazine.
