Extract

In recent discussions upon the classification of the Archæan, great importance has naturally been attached to the occurrence of beds of fragmental origin. In the distinctly volcanic beds these are numerous; in the older or more highly metamorphosed portion of the group they are less frequent and their character and origin are more obscure.
