THE GEOLOGY OF WATER-SUPPLY. 



By HORACE B. WOODWARD, F.R.S., F.G.S. 

 2,20 pp. Croiiin Svo., cloth, js. 6d. net. 



A full account of the geological water-bearing strata, especially 

 in reference to Great Britain, and of all the various sources — wells, 

 springs, streams, and rivers — from which water-supplies are drawn. 

 The influence of the rainfall, percolation, evaporation from the soil 

 and by vegetation, as well as other allied subjects, are discussed. 



THE GEOLOGY OF BUILDING STONES. 



By J. ALLEN HOWE, B.Sc, 



Curator of the Museum of Practical Gkologv. 



Croimt 8vo., cloth, js. 6d. net. 



Since the appearance of Professor Hull's treatise in 1872, no 

 single book has been brouglit out in this country dealing exclusively 

 with the Geology of Building Stones. Many valuable papers have 

 been written on special branches, and lists of building stones, etc., 

 have been incorporated in the standard works upon building con- 

 struction, but in few of these has the geological aspect been developed 

 so as to link up the facts concerning the occurrence, physical 

 properties, and resistance to w^ear of the natural materials as they 

 exhibit themselves to a geologist. 



In the present volume the author has especially studied the 

 requirements of architects in Great Britain, so that it should prove 

 not only a useful guide for the student, but also a reliable and 

 handy book of reference for the practising architect. Although 

 building stones occupy the bulk of the space, most of the points 

 where geology and architecture meet are shortly touched upon. 



A TEXT-BOOK OF GEOLOGY. 



By PHILIP LAKE, M.A., F.G.S., 



Royal Geograi'iiical Sociktv Lecturer in Regional and Physical Geography 

 IN the University ok Camhridge; 



And R. H. RASTALL, M.A., F.G.S., 



Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge; Demonstkatou in Geology in the 

 University of Camhriik;e,

The authors here give within moderate compass a complete 

 treatise suitable alike for the student and for all who desire to 

 become acquainted with Geology on modern lines. The first part 

 of the book deals more particularly with Physical Geology — that is, 

 the study of the earth as it exists to-day, the moulding processes 

 which we can now see at work, and the land and water formations 

 which thence result. The second part deals with Stratigraphical 

 Geology, or the unravelling of the earth's previous history, the 

 stratigraphy of the British Isles being considered in detail.
