III.—On the Microscopic Structure of the Limerick Carboniferous Trap-rocks (Melaphyres)

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Dr. Macalister, in his able Presidential Address, has furnished the Society with a summary of the work done, principally by German petrologists, with the object of determining the mineral constitution and structure of plutonic, metamorphic, volcanic, and other rocks, by the aid of the microscope. Forbes, Sorby, and Allport amongst ourselves have also represented British petrologists in the same field, but perhaps have not been sufficiently forward in giving the results of their labours to the world.
