The Geology of the Isles of Scilly
Author: George Barrow
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781330203675
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
Excerpt from The Geology of the Isles of Scilly This Memoir deals with the area represented by the colour-printed map of the Scilly Isles (Sheets 357 and 360). If we except certain scattered references in De la Beche's Report on the Geology of Cornwall, Devon and West Somerset, no description of these islands has been published by the Geological Survey. The most complete account hitherto available is contained in an important paper by Mr. Joseph Carne, to which reference is made in the following pages. The detailed survey of the islands was entrusted to Mr. Barrow under the superintendence of Mr. Reid, and the work was carried out during the years 1903 and 1904. A few points of novelty have been brought to light, the most important being the recognition of greisen-bands in the granite, the discovery of a narrow strip of tourmalinized killas at the north end of White Island, the occurrence of ice-scratched stones and the presence of a somewhat doubtful outlier of Eocene gravel. The petrographical descriptions of the roches are new and have been either contributed or revised by Dr. Flett. Mr. Reid has acted as general editor.
