G. H. KINAHAN. 

 A Handy Book of Rock Names. Fcap. Svo, 45. 



" This will prove, we do not doubt, a very useful little book to all practical geologists, 

 and also to the reading student of rocks. When a difficulty is incurred as to a 

 species of deposit, it will soon vanish. Mr Kinahan's little book will soon make it all 

 clear. The work is divided into three parts. The first is a classified table of rocks, the 

 second part treats of the Ingenite rocks, and the third part deals with those rocks which 

 are styled Derivate. Dana's termination of yte has been most generally used by the 

 author, but he has also given the ite terminations for those that like them. The book 

 will be purchased, for it must be had, by every geologist; and as its size is small, it will 

 form a convenient pocket companion for the man who works over field and quarry."
