To the reviewer, tliose uplifts seem capaljle of correlation, in respect 
to their time and origin, with the latest upHfting of the region traversed 
by the Colorado river in its grand canyon, with the latest elevation 
and eastward inclination of the great plains east of the Cordilleran 
mountain belt, and with the epeirogcnic uplifts of North Americi and 
Europe that are made known by their deep fiords and submarine val- 
leys. The broad continental uplifts, contemporaneous -with the Cas- 
cade orogenic movements, were doubtless the chief cause of the gla- 
ciation of both continents. w. U. 
Christian Faith in an Age of Science. By William North Rice. Crown 
Octavo, pp. 425. New York. A. C. Armstrong and Co. 1903. Net 
$1.50. 
This book is written from the standpoint of a scicn'.ific Christi.m 
scholar, whose candor and acumen, the result of scientihc training and 
long and wide study, have brought forcibly to his mind the apparent 
non-agreements between science and some popular Christian beliefs, 
and whose Christian faith has spurred him to hold on to the fundament- 
al principles of Christianity. He allows those biblical corrections whicn 
have been made necessary by late criticism, but shows tlTit they do not 
affect the main scope and purpose of the biblical revelation. They are 
inherent in the human vehicle in which the revelation is made. In 
other words, the scriptures are not inerrant. 
The writer has read the volume entire, with much satisfaction and 
sometimes with delight. The book is destined to be of great service 
to the thoughtful scientist, whether Christian or agnostic. It has 
a wide sweep of discussion. Its style is simple and its statements are 
candid and fearless. It will not please everj^one, for it ieans in some 
parts, so far aw'ay from some of the accepted doctrines of the church 
that strict adherents of the dogmas will denounce it as non-Christia 1, 
but its close bond with modern science will win for it and for Christian- 
ity the confidence of the earnest and thoughtful of all readers. The 
author combines in his personality the qualities of an able and fearless 
seeker after truth in the science of the day, and of a reverent and firm 
believer in God and his immanence in nature, and in the essentials of 
Christianity. N. h. \v. 
TIic Cambric Dictyonona Fauna of the Slate Belt of Eastern Xeic 
York. By Ri'doli-h Rudemann. Men' Y'ork State Mu^eitm Bulletin 
6q. 1902 (1903)- 
This paper is of much interest to American and Canacl-'an geologists 
as it contains a very full discussion of the relation of the Dictyonenn 
zone to the Cambrian and Ordovician systems. 
The author gives an account of the position of this band in Scandin- 
avia, and the elaborate studies Linnarsson, TuUberg, Lundgren and 
Brogger upon its fossils, and its relation to the Cambr:;.n types below 
and Ordovician above. "The northern European palreontoiogists almos": 
without e.xception, have agreed"' to place this band as the "termination 
of the primorGial (Cambrian) fauna."
