Excerpt from The Geological Record for 1875: An Account of Works on Geology, Mineralogy, and Pal?ontology, Published During the Year
In issuing the second volume of the Geological Record it will be well to notice the points in which it differs from the first. These are: - the use of a more distinct type for special purposes (thicker type for names of authors, and italics for journals), so as to make reference more easy; the introduction of the heading "Oceania" for various islands that do not group well under other headings; and the addition of an "Index of New Species" which cannot fail to augment the value of the pal?ontological part of the work.
The increase in the number of papers, &c. noticed, as compared with the volume for 1874, and the addition of a Supplement for that year (making in all 2350 entries against 2130), have made this volume much larger. It is to be hoped that the greater expense thus caused will be met by an equivalent increase in the number of Subscribers, especially as the subscription has been kept at the original low sum; and I would beg all geologists to aid us in firmly establishing this useful work.
