Extract

These papers on a puzzling complex of igneous rocks are of special interest. The question is: Has there been a remarkably thorough-going metasomatism of basalt, or none at all? If the complex is extraordinary the conflicting hypotheses advanced to account for it are hardly less so, for we are invited to credit lavas with hitherto unimagined potentialities and behaviour.
