Extract

Mr. T. Mellard Reade evidently wished to clicit, by his note on the mechanics of overthrusts in the Geological Magazine, 1908, p. 518, a discussion on these phenomena, as he also tells us in the February Number, 1909, p. 75. May I be allowed, therefore, to contribute some remarks on his paper?
