400 Miscellanies. 



and Stafford, with descriptions of the coal fields and oVerlying 

 formations, by Roderick Impey Murchison, P. R. S., F. L. S., 

 Vice President of the Geological Society of London, &c. &c. &c., 

 in two parts. Part I, containing over 600 pages, large and full 

 quarto, illustrated by 112 wood cuts and a map; with 13 pictur- 

 esque views, generally colored, and several of them folded. Part 

 II, Organic Remains and Sections, over 200 pages quarto, making 

 more than 800 for the entire work. There are 27 lithographic 

 plates for the organic remains, containing nearly 700 figures. 



The colored sections are nine, generally three folded, and con- 

 taining 111 distinct sub-sections. 



The country described by the author, after seven years of 

 arduous exertion among the mountains and in the cabinet, is rep- 

 resented on a sf lendid colored map of five feet by three, after the 

 three sheets of which it is composed are duly joined. At the bot- 

 tom of this map is an ideal colored section, representing all the 

 rocks which are described by Mr. Murchison. 



For this magnificent work we are indebted to the accomplished 

 author, who has achieved a signal triumph for British Geology 

 and for the science itself.
