PROF. T. G. BONNET S PETROLOGICAL NOTES ON THE
places the " quartzite " series crosses for a short space over to this
left bank of the former valley.
We have thus a very irregular slip of Hebridean gneiss, capped in
part by some Torridon Sandstone, bounded by two or more faults,
which bring down the quartzite and calcareous series on the one hand
and the newer gneiss series on the other (figs. 2 & 3)*.
In the section given by Sir E,. Murchison (Q,. J. G. S. vol. xvii.
p. 191) a small patch of " syenite" is also marked as occurring on
the right bank of Loch Maree, near its head. Of the gneissose
character of this I have not any doubt ; but I also found there a
rock which, both macroscopically and microscopically, appears to be
a true diorite. I saw no signs of intrusion, and think the presence
of this patch of the older rock may be explained by faulting, though
I am not prepared at present to say in what manner that is to be
connected with the other faults.

The macroscopic characters of this rock in the present district
have been already described by previous observers, so it wiU suffice
to make a few remarks on the microscopic structure of the specimens
which^ I collected. These were obtained from the above-named
localities m Glen Laggan, at intervals on the right bank of Loch
.* . ^^ad with me a copy of Dr. Hicts's section (vol. xxnv. p. 814), but entirely

tailed to reconcile it with what I saw on the ground.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
