Abstract
All the bedded rocks outcropping within the fault-intrusion of Glencoe, south and west of Garbh Bheinn summit (2,835 feet, Text-fig. 1), are shown to be exotic. They probably represent down-sloped fragments of the now eroded roof of the intrusion. This change of interpretation completely invalidates the theory of rapid facies changes, proposed by the writer in 1952. New evidence relating to the remarkable thickness variation of the Binnein Quartzite on the eastern side of the Garbh Bheinn downfold is also discussed.
