Reviews — Western Australia. 427 



In spite of this drawback it is evident that the memoir contains 

 a vast store of information which in this collected form must be of 

 the utmost value to those concerned with the purely economic side 

 of the subject. The dominant geological structures and the dis- 

 position of the principal faults and folds are clearly brought out, and 

 there is also a brief but interesting chapter on the value of fossils, 

 illustrated by two good plates, one of marine and freshwater shells, 

 admirably drawn by Dr. Peach, and the other of some photographs 

 of characteristic Coal-measure plants, contributed by Dr. KMston. 

 There are also some useful tables of analyses and physical data 

 connected with fire-clay, which is largely developed in the district.
