Extract

In the Mineralogical Magazine for September, 1930, Dr. Frederick Walker describes 'A tholeiitic phase of the quartz-dolerite magma of central Scotland'. Several pages of the article are devoted to a consideration of the phenomena he has observed in these rocks in their bearing upon certain views which I have expressed. In most respects Dr. Walker has clearly grasped the essential features of my thesis, and his efforts to obtain further information on the various points have been well directed. I am glad to welcome such a discussion as he has given, even though his conclusions are somewhat opposed to mine. In one respect, however, he has apparently overlooked an essential feature of my argument. On this matter, and on some points of evidence given, I should like to present some discussion. I desire also to examine certain other recent papers by Daly and Barth and by Bowen, Schairer, and Willems, in which the views expressed in my article have met with some criticism.

page 548 note 3 The secondary minerals occur chiefly in the interstices among the boulder-like masses of an extrusive pillow-lava. The conditions of occurrence show that the minerals are due to the action of thermal waters of ultimately meteoric derivation. The possibility that they represent in any sense residues from orthomagmatic crystallization is eliminated.
