Engineering Geology, by H. Ries and T. L. Watson, 2nd edition, London : 
Chapman & Hall, xxvii. + 722 pages, 17s. net. In this Journal for 
September, 1914, a review of this excellent ‘book was given. The present 
notice is to draw attention to the fact that the book has been so far 
successful, that within a very short time a second adition has been called 
for. Much additional matter has been added, bringing the total number 
of pages to about 750, though the price has not been advanced. The 
volume is produced in the excellent style we expect from Messrs, John 
Wiley & Sons, New York, where it first appeared. 
A Text Book of Geology, Part 2. Historical Geology, by Charles 
Schuchert. London: Chapman & Hall, pp. 405-1026, 12s. net. This 
volume is written ‘For use in Universities, Colleges, Schools of Science, 
etc., and for the general reader.’ The author is Professor of Phycsial 
Geology at the Yale University, and naturally draws largely upon the 
American examples to illustrate ‘his theme. By the aid of innumerable 
pen and ink sketches, maps and photographs, as well as by representations 
of restorations of extinct animals, he has made av ery instructive narrative, 
which will by well worth careful study by English geologists. Additional 
interest is added to the volume by the numerous reproductions of photo- 
graphs and paintings of geological pioneers. There is also an excellent 
coloured geological map of North America.
