It seems probable, in the presentinstance, that the partial foliation was produced by metamorphismafter the cleavage had been eifected by lateral pressure, or thatit was an extension of the same process, and hence the former tookplace mostly along the planes of the latter, though becomingdeveloped along some of the original bedding planes where thecharacter of the rocks had prevented a perfect cleavage.t * A very similar series of changes has been observed by Fuchs in the meta-morphism of the clay-slate of St. Savieur, in the Pyrenees.

DESCRIPTION OF THE HOCKS—continued. 2. Volcanic Sebies of Boreowdale. In substituting the name of Volcanic Series of Borrowdalefor that of Green Slates and Porphyries, I follow the propositionof Profs. Harkness and Nicholson, as given in a paper by thelatter in 1872.* The old name given by Prof. Sedgwi(*, whileapplicable to a part of the group, by no means represents thecharacter of the whole, and since the term porphyry as q, generic name is in all probability doomed, its use in an adjectiveform being alone retained, it would seem better to call this grouof rocks after the place where most typically developed.
