XXIX.—Petrography of Igneous Rocks from the Vatnajökull Region, Iceland, collected by Mr F. W. Anderson
In the following paper ninety-eight rocks collected by Mr F. W. Anderson from the Tertiary lavas and intrusions on the south-eastern margin of the Vatnajökull, and from the Pleistocene and Recent lavas, tuffs and sediments of Kverkfjöll Eystri on the northern margin of the ice-sheet, are described....
