Extract

The Rev. A. Irving, in the January Number of the Geological Magazine, p. 46, writes: “The argument then in favour of the retention of the name ‘Permian’ (as against e.g. that of ‘Dyas’) is based on no logical consistency with established geological nomenclature. It is an excellent local name for the Russian series, but as a general term for the European series it is highly misleading.”
