Extract

It is proposed in the present paper to discuss certain micrometric methods applicable to the minerals of sedimentary rocks and to suggest how their graphical study may be used for the elucidation of certain problems in sedimentary petrology. The examples used are taken chiefly from the Triassic and Jurassic rocks of Yorkshire as described in Part I.1
