Treatise on the Geology of Trinidad by Hans G. Kugler

Though written many years ago by Hans G. Kugler at the Natural History Museum in Basel the descriptions of the Tertiary formations by him remain valid and will be found indispensable by Trinidad's geologists, paleontologists and stratigraphers. As such they will form an important milestone in our knowledge on Trinidad at large.

The original manuscript of some 800 typewritten pages is kept on file at the Natural History Museum in Basel. Through the initiative of the two editors H.M. Bolli and M. Knappertsbusch the manuscript could be prepared for publication.
