Attempted Proofs of the Differentiation of Magmas by Syntexis

This investigation was an effort to obtain proof of the much disputed principle that most of the observed mag­netic differentiations have been due to the assimilation, or syntexis, of the intruded country rocks.

The Geology of Lost Creek Canyon with Special Reference to Igneous Activity

This investigation was undertaken primarily as a problem in geologic mapping, coupled with a study of stratigraphy, glaciation, igneous phenomena, and structure. The area is admirably suited to a study of geology and geologic events. Because it is small in extent, the area was studied in some detail during the time which was devoted to field work. The record of igneous activity of past geological ages is re­markably well exposed, since Lost Creek Canyon was carved through the roof of a stock or batholith by the glaciers of the Pleistocene epoch.

Igneous Rocks of the Jardine and Crevasse Mountain Mining Districts.

It is surprising to learn that so large a variety of igneous rocks is present in the Jardine and Crevasse Mountain mining districts, a region that is generally thought of as consisting principally of schists.
