524 Reviews—Reynolds’s Geological Atlas. 
according to the legend for geological reference separately given at 
the commencement of the atlas, of which there are 30 divisions. 
The execution of the maps geologically and topographically leaves 
little to be desired; this atlas, in fact, forms a most perfect pocket 
travelling companion, combining both convenience and portability, 
with clearness and accuracy ; we commend this work to all travellers 
in Great Britain. 
Advantage has been taken of the advanced state of the Geological 
Survey maps, to correct and re-draw the geological lines, and depict 
the solid geology as accurately as possible. The want of a new 
edition of this atlas has long been felt by those who have used the 
first one, its completeness and portability for ready reference either 
for the library or as a companion in the field, render it indispensable. 
Hach map is accompanied by a small skeleton index to the. 
numbered and published sheets (4 or whole) of the 1-inch 
geological maps of the Survey, and the divisional lines upon each 
of the maps of the atlas also correspond to the area occupied by 
them. This enables any one to order the special maps of the Survey 
from which the 82 counties in the atlas have been constructed. 
Marginal notes are appended to each map, denoting the places 
of occurrence of the more important organic remains, as well as 
of the economic minerals met with in the county. Examination of 
maps 8, 10 and 11, or, indeed, any others, will readily show the 
usefulness and value of these notes to those seeking mineralogical, 
geological, or paleontological information. 
Twenty-three pages of letterpress (p. 1-23), containing short 
geological descriptions of the 82 maps, will be found of value 
and interest, as affording a short description of the structure of 
each county. Pages 24-82 are devoted to the mineral products of 
Great Britain, their distribution and value. Agricultural geology 
and water supply receive attention. A most admirable tourists’ 
guide of 10 pages, giving the chief places of interest, finest views 
and scenery, fishing stations and streams, etc.; indeed, in relation 
to each of the 32 counties, matters of much general interest and 
use are given. 
Probably no other work of the kind will so readily commend 
itself to, or meet the requirements of, the traveller by rail or road, 
and the construction of the maps will satisfy the most critical, as 
fulfilling the purpose for which they are published as an atlas of 
England geologically illustrated. A geological map of Scotland 
accompanies the atlas; it is to be regretted that Messrs. Reynolds 
& Sons did not prepare an equally good geological map of Ireland to 
accompany it. 
We recommend this extremely good and well-got-up book to all 
who desire to know something of the geological structure of Great 
Britain.
