Extract

For many years the writer has been specially interested in the variations apparent in the processes of weathering of rocks under different climatic and physiographic conditions, and has made several attempts to explain such features. Of these published attempts the most detailed took the form of a Presidential Address to the Royal Society of New South Wales in 1927. Certain portions of the argument were repeated in Economic Geology, but the regional aspects of the question were omitted.
