COUNTY BOTANY OF WORCESTER. 
July, 1889. 
relations of this particular mass to the ordinary granite of 
Dartmoor, which at Okehampton is very close, would be very 
interesting. Is this merely a local variety of the main mass, 
or is it a separate intrusion ? Rutley mentions andalusite 
as developed in the slates near Okehampton at the contact 
with the granite of Dartmoor. Are the alteration products 
constant in the two cases, or is the development of either the 
tourmaline or the andalusite more or less, so to speak, 
accidental ? To these questions I can unfortunately not 
pretend to offer any answer, and it would need detailed 
examination in the field, and then careful examination of the 
specimens to approach the matter with any hope of success.
