THE GEOLOGY OF NEW SOUTH WALES.

By C. A. SUSSMILCH, F.G.S., Lecturer in Geology at Sydney Technical College. Second edition, thoroughly revised and greatly enlarged, with many new illustrations, printed on best art paper, and handsomely bound in cloth, 6s. (postage 2d.)

The first edition of this most readable and useful work was exhausted very rapidly and before the book was generally known. The second edition will embody the results of the most recent researches published by the N.S.W. Mines Department, the Royal and Linnean Societies, and Australian Museum, as well as much information not hitherto published. It is a thorough "stock-taking" of present knowledge and will not be superseded for many years. An excellent book for sending abroad.

By GEORGE R. WILLS, Lecturer at Sydney Technical College. With numerous diagrams. Crown 4to. (10 in. x 7 in.), strongly bound in cloth, 6s. (postage 2d.)

No English or American book is so thoroughly practical as this work will be. It will prove indispensable to masterdrainers, journeymen and students alike, and will conform to all the requirements of existing Government regulations and the Technical College curriculum.

LIFE OF CAPTAIN MATTHEW FLINDERS, R.N. By PROFESSOR ERNEST SCOTT, author of "Terre Napoléon," and "Life of Laperouse." In a handsome volume of over 400 pages, octavo, with many maps, portraits, and manuscripts in facsimile.

This will be the last word on Flinders. Access has been had to all available sources of information, including the Flinders family papers, the Decaen papers at Caen, the Bibliothéque Nationale (Paris), the Mitchell Library (Sydney), and the Melbourne Public Library. Much entirely new matter will see the light for the first time in this volume, which will be easily the most important Australian historical work published in recent years.
