Extract

The specimen to be described was found in 1925 by Miss H. K. Cargill and Miss J. A. Ledeboer on a scree slope beneath a gully in the basaltic capping of the Slaufrudal granite-granophyre stock at Kvosafoss, SE. Iceland. Unfortunately the rock was not discovered in situ, but it must belong to the upper part of the stock or a dike apophysis of it. An examination of the rock was begun by Miss Ledeboer, but she was unable to continue the work; I am indebted to her for the photographs of pl. VII, figs. 1 and 2.

page 172 note 1 Some authors use ‘glomero-porphyritic’ for monomineralic clusters, but this is not universal, neither is it the original sense in which the term was used by Judd, J. W., (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soe. London, 1886, vol. 42, p. 71).Google Scholar A similar confusion exists regarding the term ‘cumulophyrie’, which has been adopted for clusters of more than one mineral ( Holmes, A., Petrographical methods, 1921, p. 343 Google Scholar), although it was first applied to clusters of equant crystals (Cross, Iddings, Pirsson, and Washington, Journ. Geol. Chicago, 1906, vol. 14, p. 703).
