Abstract
IT has recently been reported1,2 that the effect of stress on a rock acquiring a thermoremanent moment is completely reversible. Experiments carried out here have shown this is not true for all rocks. Tests have been made on a number of rocks containing different minerals, and in every case a rotation of moment induced by pressure, together with a reduction of moment, has been observed.
