Tur Grorocy oF InpIANA.—The’ thirteenth annual report of 
the geology and natural history of this State, by John Collett, 
State geologist, fills a volume of 264 pages, with thirty-nine 
plates. The large folding geological map of the State has ae 
prepared from the labors of Owen, Lawrence, Brown and 
as well as the present geologist and his assistants. The pe 
of Mr. Leo Lesquereux is entitled, Principles of Paleozoic 
Boteny, and is a most useful manual by the leading authority 
on this subject. It gives character and value to the report, and is 
fully illustrated. It will be easily understood by the lay reader.” 
Ih the same useful direction is Dr. C. A. White’s Fossils of the 
Indiana rocks, No. 3, which treats of the fossil animals of the 
coal measures of the State. Besides these chapters a due amount 
of space is devoted to the economic geology of the State by the 
State geologist and his assistants.
