Extract

The correlation of the various series of Carboniferous rocks which occur in different districts of Great Britain according to the fourfold subdivision proposed by the late Professor Phillips, has always presented great difficulties, on account of the marked changes in sequence, thickness, and lithological character which occur in districts only a few miles apart. The consideration of this difficulty was the subject of a special Sub-Committee of the International Geological Congress of 1888. The Report, however, indicated only a difference of opinion, and consisted chiefly in a series of typical sections showing the local development of Carboniferous rocks, and the schemes of classification proposed by various members of the Sub-Committee.
