The best known and most widely circulated work of the late 

 Dr. Joseph Le Conte is the "Elements of Geology," which for 

 many years has been the standard text-book on the subject in 

 colleges and universities. The work was revised and enlarged in 

 1896 by the aiuthor, with the addition of new plates and illustrations. 

 A further thorough revision of the book was about to be under- 

 taken at the time of the author's death. This event necessitated 

 other arrangements, and the work was put into the hands of Prof. 

 H. L. Fairchild, of the University of Rochester, N. Y., and Secre- 

 tary of the Geological Society of America. The' result shows that 

 Professor Fairchild was eminently well fitted for the task. A 

 large portion of the earlier chapters of the book have been rewritten 

 to bring the subject into harmony with accepted facts and theories 

 in geologic science at the present stage of development.
