Extract

In my recent paper on the Lochaber Series (Hardie, 1952), I gave detailed facts about the lithology of several of the stratigraphical units, and I concluded that the remarkable thickness variations were due to original sedimentary processes rather than to mechanical rearrangement.

In reply I would like to make the following three points.
