Abstract
THE island of South Georgia offers especially instructive evidence as to the geological history of the South Atlantic. Though one of the most isolated of the islands there, its structure is continental, an its geographical relations led Sues to the conclusion that it is a member of an island festoon which included the Falklands, Shag Rocks, Sandwich Islands South Orkneys, South Shetlands, and Grahamland, and projected as a prolongation of the Andes into the South Atlantic, as the West Indies project into the tropical Atlantic.
