- Summary
- Introductory work on geological maps by Gertrude Elles (1872-1960), one of Britain's first professional female geologists and university lecturers. In the introduction, Elles writes that this volume is "based mainly upon the notes for a course of lectures and practical work given to many successive generations of Girton and Newnham students. I was asked to put the subject matter into the form of a book in order that it might be available for other students of Geology."
