Extract

At the Bournemouth meeting of the British Association in 1919, Dr. J. W. Evans, in his characteristically stimulating address to Section C, pleaded for the closer examination of sediments by geologists in the field. He instanced especially the presence of rhythmic banding on a small scale in sediments of widely varying ages as a phenomenon badly in need of further study. Engaged in field work on the oil-bearing Tertiary rocks of Burma, the writer has been struck by the repeated occurrence of rhythmic banding in those beds. The present note embodies the firstfruits of the detailed examination of the banding.
