Summary of Progress of the Geological Survey of 

 the United Kingdom for 1902. 



This work contains a record of the field work in England and 

 Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and of the chemical, petrological> 

 and palaeontological work carried out in connection with it. 



Progress has been made with the re-survey of the southern 

 part of the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire coal-field, of the 

 South Wales coal-field as far as Llanelly, and of the Edinburgh 

 coal-field. In Cornwall special attention has been given to the 

 mining work, to the sub-division of the killas, and to the granite 

 near St. Agnes. A re-survey of portions of the London area 

 has been made in order to separate the gravels and brick earths 

 of the Thames Valley, with the view of publishing a colour- 

 printed one-inch map of the area. 



In Scotland the Highland schists, and problems connected 

 with them, the Torridon sandstone, the Easdale slates, the 

 quartzite of Jura and Islay, the rocks of the islands of Eigg and 

 Rum are dealt with. In Ireland the drifts have been surveyed 

 in the Belfast region, and these are fully described. 



Some of the matters are dealt with more in detail in the 

 appendix, such as the stanniferous vein-stones of Cornwall, the 

 classification of Devonian and carboniferous rocks, the plants of 

 the Canonbie coal-field, natural gas at Heathfield, railway-cutting 

 at Chipping Sodbury, &c. There is also a list of some types of 

 figured specimens of Jurassic Gasteropoda in the Museum of 

 Practical Geology. 



The price of this volume is one shilling, and copies may be 

 obtained from any agent for the sale of Ordnance Survey maps, 

 or directly, or through any bookseller, from the Ordnance 

 Survey Office, Southampton.
