Abstract
In a review of Nicholson's “Geology of Cumberland and Westmoreland,” which appeared in the GEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE about a quarter of a century ago, the reviewer observes, in referring to some remarks upon the Shap Granite, that this and other granites have clearly taken the place of the rocks whose position they occupy, and that, in fact, intrusive rocks can be shown, in a great majority of instances, to have replaced, rather than to have displaced, the rock masses which they invade. The reviewer's identity with a wellknown Professor of Geology at one of the English Universities is sufficiently evidenced by his intimate acquaintance with the geology of British Silurian and Cambrian rocks.
