Abstract
UNDER this head may be included work on the minerals that build up rocks, since modern petrology depends on the understanding of the causes that have brought certain mineral constituents into association. This is true even of the fragmental rocks, where the correct appreciation of a detiital mineral may lead up to the source and the relative age of the deposit. Experimental work on minerals has, moreover, almost always a geological aim, though compounds have a way of arising artificially under conditions that seem improbable in nature.
