  The 
  author 
  is 
  inclined 
  to 
  think, 
  after 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  litera- 
  

   ture 
  on 
  the 
  subject 
  and 
  much 
  material 
  of 
  his 
  own, 
  that 
  these 
  

   structures 
  are 
  too 
  complicated 
  in 
  their 
  relations 
  to 
  be 
  explained 
  

   by 
  any 
  one 
  simple 
  process. 
  He 
  rather 
  believes 
  that 
  those

  in 
  the

  stages 
  of 
  

   consolidation 
  when 
  fluids 
  and 
  gases 
  play 
  a 
  prominent 
  role

   they 
  are 
  secondary,

  metamorphic 
  in

  mafic
