This great series of rocks may be subdivided into three sections — the granites, the gneisses, and the schists, which, as a rule, run in parallel belts North and South, with a slight trend to the North-Weat.

Page 91 - It consists of serpentinized olivine, augite, mica, iron oxide, and a little plagioclase-felspar, with a variable amount of interstitial matter. In many respects it comes very near to the picrite of Inchcolm, which island is 4| miles north of Barnton cutting. It differs from the picrite of Bathgate, and the probability is that the Barnton rock is an offshoot from the same magma as that which supplied the Inchcolm rock.
Page 92 - England, whilst the upper unfossiliforous beds may be the equivalents of the Danian Beds. The strata are, on the whole, of shallow-water origin, and were deposited in shallow bays in the Upper Cretaceous sea of Southern and Central Europe, on the northern flanks of the Eastern Alps. Probably towards the close of Upper Cretaceous times the southern area of the Gosau District was cut off from the sea to form a lakebasin in which the upper unfossiliferous series was deposited. 2.
