SummaryA garnet-olivine metaperidotite and a garnet-amphibole pyroxenite are described. Chemical analyses are presented for six rocks and optical properties and chemical analyses are tabulated for clinopyroxene, almandine-pyrope garnet, and hastingsitie amphibole from the garnet-amphibole pyroxenite. A possible origin for the garnet peridotite and chemically similar granulite facies ultramafic rocks is suggested. The eclogite facies in South Harris is reinstated in the light of the data presented.

AbstractThe structures and mineralogy of the Tertiary ultrabasic and basic intrusions are described. The ultrabasic rocks are thought to be remnants of a layered intrusion which once extended from Hirta to Boreray, and which probably formed by crystal accumulation. The eucrites may represent higher levels of this intrusion. A 350 feet-thick, fine-grained margin is described from the East Glen Bay Gabbro. The metamorphism of the ultrabasic and eucritic rocks, and the formation of the Glacan Mor Complex, probably occurred in a basic environment, before intrusion of the first acid rocks on St. Kilda. Five major-element and twenty-two trace-element analyses are presented.
