 the POPULAR character of The Geologist, and endeavour 

 to make their articles as simple as possible, so as to be 

 inteUigible to general readers. To this end, the Editor 

 suggests that explanatory sentences may with advantage be 

 introduced into the body of the articles, or appended as 

 notes. 



Students or others "who wish for information on particular 

 points of Geology, or for explanation of Geological terms 

 and phrases, are invited to address their questions to the 

 Editor of The Geologist. Answers will be given to them in 

 the ensuing number of the magazine.
