  rocks, 
  the 
  author 
  adopts 
  the 
  terms 
  proposed 
  by 
  Becke 
  of 
  "Atlantic" 
  

   and 
  "Pacific" 
  families, 
  for 
  alkalic 
  and 
  sub-alkalic. 
  After 
  making 
  

   a 
  rather 
  rapid 
  but 
  comprehensive 
  survey 
  of 
  the 
  known 
  occur- 
  

   rences 
  of 
  igneous 
  rocks 
  in 
  the 
  Pacific, 
  he 
  says 
  : 
  " 
  The 
  result 
  of 
  this 
  

   investigation 
  can 
  be 
  shortly 
  comprised 
  in 
  the 
  statement 
  that 
  the 
  

   Pacific 
  Ocean, 
  with 
  the 
  exception 
  of 
  its 
  andesitic 
  borders 
  (Umrah- 
  

   mung) 
  is 
  an 
  Atlantic 
  magmatic 
  province." 
  Further 
  comment 
  on 
  

   the 
  use 
  of 
  these 
  terms 
  seems 
  unnecessary.
