Extract

In South Devon the outcrops of Middle Devonian igneous rocks form a series of roughly parallel bands, which broaden out and occupy a continuous area about twelve square miles in extent in the neighbourhood of Ashprington village. No detailed account of the petrological characters of these rocks has been given, although similar types have been described fully in the Plymouth Survey Memoir. For this reason, and also in the hope that further study might explain more completely the cause of the broadened outcrop, I investigated many exposures in the Ashprington area.
