Abstract
THIS memoir is probably the most instructive contribution to modern petrology since Brögger published his description of the Oslo area (1931)1. It describes the north-eastern (British) part of the Birunga lava-field—a region of Tertiary and Recent vulcanism which produced ‘alkali’ lavas of basic to intermediate composition. The field extends along, and partly across, the Western Rift depression for some fifty miles north and north-east of Lake Kivu.
