. This work mainly consists of the Memoir upon the Geology and Resources of California, reported to the U. S. Topographical Bureau by Mr. Tyson, and the official communications of Gens. P. F. Smith and B. Riley, accompanied by the reports of explorations in various parts of California and Oregon, by Lieut's Talbot, Ord, Derby, Capt. Warner and Lieut. Williamson. Whilst the issue of these valuable reports has been long delayed, the style in which the work has been executed, and the materials employed, are not such as their importance entitles them to. But, notwithstanding these mechanical imperfections, the publishers have great pleasure in presenting to the reader, a work of so mucli intrinsic value — and one which, it may be confidently believed, contains an amount of accurate and reliable information in regard to California and Oregon, more imporlant than has hitherto been published.
