Abstract
The extraordinary abundance and almost universal distribution of fragments of Eskdale granite through the Drift of the North-West of England and part of North Wales is an impressive fact to the student of Glacial Geology. Mackintosh was the first to systematically trace this rock through the Drift and to note its origin. Since the time of this single-minded and patient investigator many other geologists have gone over the same ground and extended his observations, and all must bear witness to the accuracy of his facts.Keywords
