Abstract
(1) SINCE the days of Sorby much useful work has been done on the less-altered sedimentary rocks—by Hill, Jukes-Browne, and Hume, for example, on the Cretaceous; Wethered on the Carboniferous; Hutchings on slates and other rocks, Millard Reade and Thomas on the Trias; Cayeaux on many formations, to mention a few only of the workers. Yet, on the whole, the petro-logical problems of sedimentary rocks have not attracted the attention of geologists with anything like the same force as those presented by the igneous rocks.
