Extract

IN the investigation of the somewhat poorly exposed Dalradian rocks of North-East Scotland, the Banffshire coast-section is of inestimable value. Excellent exposures are presented for study throughout a dip-section some 25 miles in length. The general characters, subdivisions, and relationships of the Dalradian rocks of this section were dealt with by me (1, 2, 3) before the importance of current-bedding and graded bedding in the investigation of the stratigraphical order of metamorphic rocks had been realized. In this paper an account is given of the examination of the section along the lines developed by Professor E. B. Bailey and the Glasgow school (5, 6, 7, 8, 9). I have to thank especially Professor Bailey and Dr. W. J. McCallien for their instruction in the study of current-bedding in metamorphic rocks during excursions to the Kinloch-leven and Schichallion districts.
