CERTAIN additions and much revision, as compared with the third edition of 1922, have been made in this new edition of E. S. Dana's well-known textbook. The chief additions are two. The
crystallography section now includes a short account of crystal structure, as revealed by X-ray analysis, which provides a good introduction to an increasingly important branch of
mineralogy. A section entitled “Origin, Mode of Occurrence and Association of Minerals” is new to this book, though much of it has appeared in Dana's “Manual of Mineralogy”. This section
consists of less than twenty pages, so that only a very inadequate summary of mineral paragenesis is presented.
A Textbook of Mineralogy: with an Extended Treatise on Crystallography and Physical Mineralogy.
By Prof. E. S. Dana. Fourth edition, revised and enlarged by Prof. William E. Ford. Pp. xi + 851. (New York: John Wiley and Sons, Inc.; London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1932.) 34s. net.
