Extract

I venture to present before the Section a new interpretation of the Scottish Caledonide structure. This essay is based partly on the impressions that I got on a short visit to the Northern Highlands and on a most instructive excursion to Ballachulish under Mr. E. B. Bailey's inspiring guidance; partly on my own experience of the tectonics of Central European crystalline regions; but of course, above all, on the work of many Scottish geologists.
