Abstract
IN your report of the meeting of the Geological Society in NATURE, vol. xii. p. 79, I find notes of a communication submitted by the Rev. O. Fisher, F.G.S., on Mr. Mallet's theory of volcanic energy, and as I consider Mr. Mallet's paper to be one of surpassing value, I wish to make a few remarks on the criticism of it by Mr. Fisher. Mr. Fisher objects to the possibility of assuming high local temperatures to be produced by the transformation of tangential forces into heat, within the earth's crust.
