Extract

The suite of dikes that forms the subject of this paper is bounded on the south from Sleights Moor (south of Whitby) to Dalston (south of Carlisle) by the well-known series of dikes known collectively as the Cleveland-Cockfield-Armathwaite dike, and on the north by the nearly parallel and more continuous Acklington dike which stretchesfrom Bondicarr near Coquet Island across the southern margin of the Cheviots into Scotland.

The eight new chemical analyses (and calculations of norms) presented in this paper have been made by Dr. Harwood. The field work and petrological investigations have been carried out by Professor Holmes, who is also responsible for the writing of the paper.

page 49 note 3 In the second of the papers referred to above a ‘quartz-diorite’ from the Vestur Horn intrusion in south-east Iceland is described (p. 513). It contains both potash-felspar and plagioclase, and hypersthene is present. The authors remark, ‘The patchy distribution of the dark minerals in this rock is strongly suggestive of admixture.’ On p. 533, however, they assume the extreme magmas to be products of differentiation operating during the igneous cycle.
