Abstract
Summary: Moinian and Dalradian metamorphic rocks occur in the north-east extension of the Ox Mountains. The petrology and migmatization of the Moinian are discussed and Dalradian rocks are described for the first time from this area. Reference is made to the structure and brief comparisons are made with adjacent areas. The status of the so-called ‘eclogites’ in the Moinian is also discussed.Keywords
