D., JUST PUBLISHED: A New and Enlarged Edition of DANA'S TEXT BOOK OF GEOLOGY. THE FOURTH EDITION. HE publishers take pleasure in announcing a revised and enlarged edition of this old and standard Text Book of Geology. This edition bears date of September 1st, 1883, and is in every respect fully up with the progress of geological science at the present day. As the result of the latest researches of its veteran author, it is believed to be more than ever worthy to rank as the leading geological text-book for American schools. The work of revision has been thoroughly done and covers every part of the book; but it is believed that this edition can be used with little difficulty in the same classes with the Third Edition. Of the more important additions to the Text Book the author says: "In this Fourth Edition, fifty pages have been added to the size of the work, in order to render the explanations simpler and more complete, and to give also a fuller account of the kinds of life which contribute to rock-making, of the geographical distribution of marine species, and of the depths of the seas. Each of these topics is illustrated by new cuts, and the last by a general map showing the depth of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by bathymetric lines, based mainly on that of Mr. H. N. Moseley, of the Challenger expedition." **Liberal terms will be made for the introduction of this edition in place of older editions, or of other works on the subject.
