 1908. 



THIS is one of those useful and comprehensive sketches of the 

 geology of a large district so valuable to the busy geologist. 

 The area included is the whole of I^orway, Sweden, and Finland, and 

 parts of Denmark, the IN'orth of Prussia, and North-West Russia. 

 The map is 1 : 8,000,000, and is clearly printed in colour. The author 

 points out that the material is of different value for different parts of 

 the region, as large tracts are still untrodden by the feet of any 

 geologist, but he has drawn on the publications of many colleagues, 

 and produced a valuable compilation showing our present knowledge 

 of this important northern European area.

 a Scientific Expedition to the Falkland Islands (October, 1907-
