Abstract
THE abundant and well-preserved extinct volcanoes of Italy have long had a great fascination for students of geology. So many allusions to them are scattered through the literature of the science, and so many accounts of them, more or less brief, have been furnished by those who have visited them, that their general characters and the more important varieties of their rocks are now tolerably familiar. But until lately hardly any of them have been subjected to that minute dissection which modern vulcanology and petrography now demand. The Italian geologists, however, have at last taken up the investigation in considerable detail, and are issuing excellent maps and monographs of different volcanic districts, which well deserve the careful attention of all who take an interest in the progress of volcanic geology. To some of the latest of these publications a brief reference may here be made.
