 Intended primarily for writers on mining, and yet it 

 contains much that is useful and suggestive to zo- 

 ologists particularly the chapters on the need of sim- 

 plicity in the language of science, and on the value 

 of standardization.

of scientific results in oral and written form.

The four preceding papers are in many respects models 

 of presentation. They exemplify the process method 

 applied to regions, a phase of much importance in 

 certain ecologic studies, particularly ecological sur- 

 veys. The last two papers are rather detailed ap- 

 plications of the same ideas. A very profitable 

 study may be made of the method of presentation 

 in these papers.
