Abstract
THE Department of Mines of New South Wales has issued a very useful volume entitled “The Mineral Industry of New South Wales”, written by E. C. Andrews and the staff of the Geological Survey, and edited by F. S. Mance, Under Secretary for Mines, who contributes two introductory sections. Such a work was long overdue; in 1901 a similar work, entitled “The Mineral Resources of New South Wales”, was produced by Mr. Edward F. Pittman, at that time Government Geologist of New South Wales. This book contained a mass of useful information, and was in such demand that it has been out of print for many years. When Mr. Pittman's book was written, the most important mineral products of New South Wales were gold, copper, and tin, whereas to-day lead, zinc, and coal are of far greater importance.
