Extract

The great interest being taken at present in the use of aeroplanes in connection with mining, shown in the reception given to a recent paper before the Institution, has suggested to the author that a paper may be welcomed which deals with aerial survey as an aid to the geologist and to the prospector, and which attempts to put before members information on the subject, much of which is available but not altogether accessible.
