Description
Summary:All students of the Thulean (Brito-Arctic) province of igneous rocks will be interested to learn of the landing effected on the islet of Rockall in June, 1921, by Dr. Charcot, of Antarctic fame, at the instigation of Professor A. Lacroix, of Paris, who has recently described the new material thus obtained. The writer believes that an account of the results so far achieved will be welcomed by British workers.
