Extract

Dr. Arthur Holmes has laid all petrographers under a debt of gratitude for his Nomenclature of Petrology, which worthily succeeds and replaces Löwinson-Lessing's Lexique Pétrographique. It represents an enormous amount of patient labour, and will provide an indispensable instrument of petrographic research. Its perusal has led the writer to consider several points in modern petrographic nomenclature which seem to need further discussion.
