II.—Permian in Devonshire

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

In the course of a visit to the Hunsruck district between Treves and Bingen in the spring of 1890, in company with Professor Gosselet, Mons. C. Barrois, Herr von Eeinach and Herr Grebe, I was struck by the resemblance displayed by the Permian quartz porphyry of the valley of the Nahe, between Birkenfeld and Bingen, to fragments contained in the breccias of Teignmouth. In discussing the South Devon section with the two gentlemen last named, on that occasion, they both gave it as their opinion that the lower beds of the Devon section might prove to be representatives of the Bothliegende.
