Chapter IV: Appendix: II. By JOHN DE RIJKE, C.E.—ON SAND DUNES AND DUNE SAND AS A (2)

type. The pages suggest the hand of a man of experience in
building operations—and the volume must be a blessing to many
teachers as well as to students.”—_The Architect._

small competitors alike, and bids fair to take a permanent
