THE EARFHS INTERIOR A
 REGION FOR sPECUIzATION.

A strictly scientific contribution to knowledge in the form of a discussion of some of the results incidental to the triangulation work done by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, is presented by Grove Karl Gilbert, of the United States Geological Survey, in a short paper on the interpretation Of Anom- allies of Gravity,,'s recently published by the Geological Survey as Part c of Professional Paper 85.
 After stating the auomaslies of gray fty, which are also expressed graphic ally on the map of the United States accompanying the paper. MT. Gilbert discusses the, interpretation of these anomalies slndersathes assumPtion of imperfect isost tatic adjustneut, verti- cal heterogeneity of the crust, and va riation of depth of cempensation. The geological relations suggested by the map showing the geographic distri- button of the anomalies are next set forth.
 The speculative nature of this scien- tihc contribution is well expressed by MT. Gilbert in the few sentences that introduce the section discussing inter pretation by nuclea1 heterogeneity:
