In the Appendix Mr. B. N. Peach, F.E.S., Mr. C. B. Crampton, and 

 Mr. D. Tait furnish a general list of all the fossils obtained in Eastern 

 Fife ; assisted by Dr. K. H. Traquair, F.E.S., for the Fishes ; 

 Dr. Wheelton Hind for the Mollusca, etc. ; Mr. K. Kidston, F.E.S., for 

 the fossil Plants ; Prof. T. Eupert Jones, F.E.S., and the late Mr. J. W. 

 Kirkby for the Entomostraca, etc. These are arranged m strati- 

 graphical groups, in botanical and zoological grade, and the localities 

 are all given by means of numbers. Special lists of fossils are also 

 added. The series of 12 plates are devoted mostly to volcanic and 

 glacial phenomena, which the coast of East Fife admirably illustrates. 

 We are glad to see the historic ' Eock and Spindle ' still stands on 

 the beach two miles east of St. Andrew's. This might, with advantage, 

 have been reproduced on a larger scale, so as to bring out more 

 effectively its remarkable features. Dr. J. S. Flett and Mr. H. J. 

 Seymour contribute a chapter on the petrography of some of the 

 rocks of Eastern Fife, and one recognises many effective sketches of 

 geological phenomena from the notebook of Sir A. Geikie, reproduced 

 as process cuts in the text. Certainly the King's printers in Scotland 

 do their work better than those for England, and unless our London 

 printers look carefully to their laurels the memoirs of the Survey are 

 apt to be sent ' over the border ' for production.

The Geology of the ■ Country around Dublin (Explanation of 

 Sheet 112). By G. W. Lamplugh, F.G.S., J. E. Kilroe, 

 A. M'Henrt, M.E.I.A., H. J. Seymour, B.A., F.G.S., and 

 W. B. Wright, B.A. 8vo ; pp. viii and 160, with 5 plates and 

 21 process illustrations in the text, and a coloured geological 

 map (Sheet 112). (Printed for H.M. Stationery Office by Alex. 

 Thom & Co., Limited, Dublin. Sold by Hodges, Figgis, & Co., 

 Limited, 104, Grafton Street, Dublin (or of Duiau & Co., 37, Soho 

 Square, London, W.), 1903, Price 3s. ; price of Map Is. Qd.) 



[In part reprinted from tlie explanatory Memoir to accompany Sheets 102 and 

 112, by J. Beete Jukes, M.A., F.R.S., and G. V. Du Noyer, 1861 ; revised 1875.] 



This memoir has been prepared to accompany and explain the 

 new colour-printed drift-map of Dublin and its environs. The 

 description of the ' solid ' rocks is mainly reprinted from the original 

 " Memoir to accompany Sheets 102 and 112," which has long been 

 out of print, but this part has been expanded to include a summary 

 of the researches carried out by private workers and by the Survey 

 since that memoir was published, and a newly written portion 

 dealing with the ' petrography ' of these rocks has also been added. 



The description of the glacial drifts and other superficial deposits 

 is altogether new, and contains the information collected during the 

 survey of these deposits in the year 1901. The material under the 

 heading of ' Economic Geology ' has been greatly enlai'ged from 

 the previous memoir, and now includes a list of the minerals of the 

 •district and an account of researches into the character of its soils.
