Abstract
On account of the aid it has given, palæontology has been termed the handmaiden of stratigraphy, but up to the present time petrology has not been called upon, so far as it might have been, to fulfil its appropriate duty towards the elucidation of the problems of stratigraphical geology and palæogeography.Keywords
