XIV.–Preliminary Note on old Rhyolites from Bouley Bay, Jersey, &c

Abstract

The examination of the rhyolite exhumed by Dr. Henry Hicks, F.G.S., from the conglomerate of the Pebidian formation of St. Davids, Pembrokeshire (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., May., 1878, p. 153), recalled to my mind certain rocks from other localities which bad found a place in the large and important petrological collection in the British Museum, which I thought might prove to belong to the same group. Among these, some fragments brought from Bouley Bay, Jersey, by Wm. Carruthers, Esq., F.R.S., whose attention they attracted, interested me especially. It was found, however, that they had not been collected with the view of illustrating the rock in all its varieties, so further examination was postponed until an opportunity occurred to procure more material.
