Extract

The object of this paper is to give a connected account of the small plutonic masses which pierce the Lower Palaeozoic strata of South-East Scotland. These intrusions have been overshadowed by their larger neighbours the Galloway Granites, of which Teall has given such admirable descriptions, but are worthy of more attention than they have received in the past.
