Nature of the investigation.—The following pages embody the resultsof an investigation of the lithology and geology of a plexus of eruptiverocks and of the metamorphic aureole in schistose rocks surroundingthe igneous bodies. The field Avork was begun in 1893, but numerousinterruptions prevented the completion of the study until the presentyear. In the meantime an elaborate series of chemical analyses wasmade by Dr. Hillebrand (in 1896) and the results were published onpages 68-70 of Bulletin 148 of the United States Geological analyses are here republished, with the oxides arranged in theorder recommended by Dr. H.
