Abstract
MR. PRIMROSE MCCONNELL is well known as a shrewd writer on practical farming and as one who has done a good deal to bring the facts of science within the reach of the farming community. The present work is on the fascinating subject of agricultural geology. It has evidently been written con amore, and we are told in the preface has occupied the author for many years. He treats first of the origin of soils, then follows a chapter on mineralogy, another on physiography and one on water supply. We then come to the most important section of the book, entitled “Formations and Farming,” occupying about 110 pages. The volume closes with a section dealing with the evolution of the present breeds of horses, cattle, sheep and pigs.
