AN INTRODUCTION TO THE GEOLOGY OF NEW SOUTH WALES.

By C. A. Süssmilch, F.G.S. Second edition, thoroughly revised and greatly enlarged, with folding coloured map and 100 other maps and illustrations. Cloth gilt, 7s. 6d. (postage 3d.)

Australian Mining Standard: "Students are greatly indebted to Mr. Süssmilch for the able manner in which he has presented in compact form all that is known at the present time on the subject.… The illustrations throughout are excellent, but the coloured geological map which serves as a frontispiece is a model of what such a map should be, avoiding the opposite evils of overcrowding and meagreness. Mr. Süssmilch's book should be of value, not only to students in the colleges, but to those practical miners who are also students."
