426 Reviews—Dr. Waagen’s Salt-range Fossils. 
appended. It may also be mentioned that the author gives, at the 
beginning of the work, a bibliographical list of publications on the 
invertebrate Mesozoic fossils of South America. The list only 
includes 24 titles, and thus indicates the slight amount of work 
which has hitherto been done on this group of fossils within the 
bounds of this continent. We note one omission; that of a short 
paper by Prof. E. Forbes on the Secondary fossil shells from South 
America, given as an appendix to Part II. of Darwin’s “ Geological 
Observations.”

N Germany, not less than in England, new manuals of Geology, 
and new editions of old ones, appear with a frequency which 
indicates a considerable amount of interest, both on the part of 
students and of the public generally in the science of which they 
treat. The present volume by Prof. von Fritsch is brought out as one 
of a series of Geographical handbooks, and there can be no doubt 
of the importance of a thorough acquaintance with the facts and 
principles of geology to any one who aims ata real knowledge of 
geography. This book seems to be well adapted for its purpose ; 
though necessarily it covers the same ground as other manuals of 
the science, the subject is treated from an independent point of view, 
and’ the author may justly claim that it is not a mere compilation, 
but has been based on his own study and observation of the 
facts. The following is the arrangement adopted in the work :— 
I. Geophysiography ; II. Geotectonic or Stratigraphy; III. Geo- 
chemie or Chemical Geology, including Petrography and Lithology ; 
IV. Geomechanic or Physical Geology; and V. Geogenie or His- 
torical Geology. The facts and deductions relating to each of these 
divisions are stated very clearly and concisely, and the work may be 
commended, not merely to beginners, but to students of Geology 
generally. G. J. H

N this elaborate memoir the Corals of the Carboniferous Lime- 
stone of the Salt-Range of the Punjab are described in detail, 
and illustrated on a scale which might give rise to the envy of 
non-official paleontologists, who have to be content with figures of 
much humbler proportions. These Corals are, for the most part, 
of the same general characters as those of the Devonian and Carbon- 
iferous strata of this country and North America. They belong to 
the genera Arepora, Pachypora, Michelinia, Monotrypa, Orbipora, 
Geinitzella, Stenopora, Lonsdaleia, Ampleaus, Hexagonella, Dybow-
