Abstract
During the spring of 1873 I paid a short visit to the province of Algiers, and beg to lay before the Society the result of my observations on the main geological features of the district between Algiers and the Sahara. The military road running almost due north and south from the Mediterranean coast of Algiers to the borders of the desert at L'Aghouat, the most southern French military outpost, and crossing nearly at right angles the prevalent line of strike and trend of the high and low ground, suggested itself to me as affording the most comprehensive section in a continuous line that could be selected for my object, which was to compare the geological features of Algeria with those of Marocco observed during my visits to that country in the years 1869 and 1871. Very little has heretofore been written about the geology of Algeria; and, indeed, the best published maps fall short of giving a correct delineation of even the hill- and valley-systems of the country.
