Abstract

Bridgwater and Collerson are congratulated on their important contributions to the knowledge of early Archaean terrains in Labrador and southwestern Greenland. Many of the interpretations advanced in their paper (Bridgwater and Collerson, 1976) throw much light on the evolution of deep-seated Archaean crustal domains. Other interpretations, however, raise a number of questions, discussed below in the following terms; (1) nature of original field relations between Uivak gneiss and Upernavik supracrustals; (2) timing of development of K-feldspar bands in Uivak gneiss; (3) isotopic effects of Rb-addition associated with the development of the K-feldspar bands; (4) crustal history of Uivak gneiss precursors, and (5) relations between gneisses of high-grade terrains and granites of low-grade terrains in the Archaean. In each case, the questions are accompanied by suggested tentative interpretations.
