page 25 note 2 Since the above was written the writer finds that Rosenbusch was latterly inclined to take the same view. “Doch kann man es wegen seiner ausgesprochen porphyrischen Struktur nicht wohl zu den Noriten stellen. Ob man es nicht besser seiner chemischen Konstitution nach, zumal wegen seines hohen Gehaltes au Kieselsäure zu den Enstatit-porphyriten stellen sollte, darüber liesse sich streiten” (Mikr. Phys., 4th ed., vol. ii, p. 1258, 1908)Google Scholar. [One cannot, in consequence of its pronounced perphyritic structure, very well class it with norites. It is an open question if it would not be better, having regard to its chemical composition, and particularly considering the amount of silica it contains, to class it with the enstatite-porphyrites.—Ed.]
