page 268 note 1 On the analogy of the names of all the other science there can, we think, be no question that this use of term petrography, whatever may be the authority in its favour, is wrong. Dr. wadsworth uses petrography as inclusive of lithology and petrology, the latter dealing with charecters of rocks observed in thefeild only: but surely this is merely petrography; this science is petrology.
