IV.—Remarks on Serpentine

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The very full and able review of Dr. Sterry Hunt's paper on “The Geological History of Serpentine,”1 gives me an opportunity, of which I have been for some time desirous, of commenting on certain parts of it relating to my investigations of the typical rock which bears that name. In commenting adversely upon these, I must not be supposed to express a difference of opinion in regard to every part of the paper, because there are many relating to the Archæan schists with which I am in general agreement.

page 410 note 1 Serpentine under pressure sometimes assumes a schistose aspect. This has added to the difficulties of distinguishing the rock from simulative forms.
