Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geological Record for 1877: An Account of Works on Geology, Mineralogy, and Paleontology, Published During the Year, With Supplements for 1874-1876 Trus fourth volume of the geological record shows an increase of a few pages over the last. Great delay in publication has been caused by the loss of ms. In transmission - the missing part (european Geology) having been appropriated by some very wise person as an article of great value, and not recovered for some months. In deference to the request of various Subscribers, the price of books has been given, when that could be done without much trouble. The only change of plan consists in the placing of the supplementary notices for former years at the end of each section, instead of in an unclassified mass at the end of the book.
