Extract

In the basaltic lavas of Iceland certain porphyritic crystals of unusually large dimensions, occur embedded in the matrix of the rock, and from an early date have received the notice of writers on the geology of that island. Amongst these authors might be mentioned :—Professor Forchhammer, Dr. F.A. Genth, M. A. Damour, Prof. Zirkel, M. P. Schirlitz, and M. R. Bréon.

page 155 note 1 This result is an average of six experiments which varied between 93° 30' and 93° 40', the wide difference being accounted for by the imperfect lustre of some of the faces of the cleavage plates, giving, thereby, only an imperfect reflection of the object employed.
