The south-eastern margin of the Glen Tilt complex consists of a long strip of diorites with a number of small associated patches of rocks of appinitic type. Xenoliths, both of hornblendite and hornblendeschist, the latter belonging to the Perthshire series of the Dalradian, are found enclosed within the dioritic rocks, which range petrographically from diorite to quartz-mica-diorite. In all these rocks hornblende is the most important fcrromagnesian constituent always predominating over pyroxene in the basic members and frequently persisting to the exclusion of biotite in the intermediate rocks of the intrusion. The hornblendes were examined chemically because of the difficulty of estimating their composition even from a thorough optical investigation. As they play such an important role in the complex it is considered that they may give some indication of the history and mode of formation of the rocks in which they occur. Such a chemical investigation of a series of related hornblendes will also indicate the possible range of composition of common amphiboles within the diorites and related rocks of a single complex.

AbstractThe western Andean belt of Argentina displays a comprehensive record of the Carboniferous and earliest Permian rocks so extensive that it allows an exceptional reconstruction of the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age of the southwestern margin of the South American Gondwana area. Severe endemism of the Gondwana biota during this period makes it difficult to achieve a precise correlation of these glacially influenced deposits with the coeval sequences of the Palaeoequatorial belt, where the subdivisions of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart are currently defined. The abundant paleontological record available from the Upper Palaeozoic deposits of central-western Argentina, central Patagonia, and eastern Argentina, makes it possible to recognize five successive faunal stages that allow a proper ordering of the sequences of this period. The proposed regional stages, and their assumed chronologic position regarding the standards of the current International Chronostratigraphic Chart, are: the Malimanian (late Tournaisian), Barrealian (Mid-Carboniferous or Serpukhovian-Bashkirian), Aguanegrian (Upper Pennsylvanian), Uspallatian (Asselian-Tastubian?) and Bonetian (Sakmarian). This paper aims to reiterate former recommendations about the convenience of having regional reference units and suggests the consideration of the available faunal stages as possible chronostratigraphic subdivisions for the Carboniferous-early Permian of the south-eastern margin of Gondwana.

In the following paper ninety-eight rocks collected by Mr F. W. Anderson from the Tertiary lavas and intrusions on the south-eastern margin of the Vatnajökull, and from the Pleistocene and Recent lavas, tuffs and sediments of Kverkfjöll Eystri on the northern margin of the ice-sheet, are described. Interest in the geology of the Vatnajökull region has been revived by several recent expeditions.The existence of active volcanoes under the Vatnajökull, and the eruptions that occasionally break through the ice-sheet, offer unexampled opportunities for the investigation of the peculiar igneous and sedimentary products which are the results of the contest between ice and volcanism, and for the solution of the “Palagonite Problem”, with which several authors have recently dealt.

As part of the inventory work in the Kosobsko-Keleb Reserve in 2017–2019, the species composition was identified and the relative abundance of rodents on the south-eastern slope of the Bogos ridge was estimated. It is shown that rodents inhabit a fairly wide range of biotopes on the south-eastern slope of the Bogos ridge, which is largely predetermined by the peculiarities of their ecology and the nature of their specialization.
