To the above may be added Dana's Mineralogy, which treats of the various mineral substances that enter into the composition of the rocks and strata in which the fossil remains are imbedded.
A good geological map of Great Britain is indispensable. The small map published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, edited by Sir R. Murchison, price 5s., is an excellent compendium; but Mr. Knipe's large "Geological Map of the British Isles" is the most complete and convenient for the traveller: price 3l. 3s. By reference to the map, the geological structure, and the prevailing fossils of a district, may be ascertained.
