 Prof. T. G. Bonney, M.A., F.B.S., Sec. G.S. 



[Abstract*.] 



The author described the results of his investigations into the 

 stratigraphy and petrology of the above districts, which have led

 rocks of Anglesey pass down into an anticlinal of dark gneiss (above) 

 and grey gneiss (below). (2) Associated with the granitoid series 

 are bands of felsite, halleflintas, and felspathic breccias, (3) The 

 succession of gneissic and granitoid rocks in Anglesey resembles so 

 closely the metamorphic series of Malvern as to justify the correla- 

 tion of the two groups. (3) The Pre-Cambrian rocks of Anglesey
