Abstract
MUCH research on problems connected with the sedimentary rocks has been carried out since the publication of the last edition of Hatch and Rastall's text-book, in 1923. The appearance of a revised edition is therefore timely. The author and subject bibliographies with which the latest edition is provided reveal the extent of the literature on sediments, and it is noteworthy that a very considerable proportion of the papers cited have been issued during the last fifteen years. The task of revision, which has been carried out by Mr. M. Black, must therefore have been no light one.
