Abstract
EIGHT miles south of Land's End stands the well-known Wolf Rock with its important lighthouse. The rock itself is a phonolite, the only one of its kind on the whole of the coast of the British Isles. Its petrography was accurately described by J. J. Harris Teal in 1888 (“British Petrography”, Dulau and Co., London).
