Abstract
SUMMARYSome additional data are given regarding the “newer” intrusions of an area of which the main petrological features have been described elsewhere. The intrusions are:— (1) Aplites, pegmatites, quartz-veins, granodiorite porphyries, and biotite-granodiorites in or around the Newer Diorite. (2) A “porphyry” contaminated by cordieritic hornfels and having “clouded ” plagioclase “phenocrysts ”. Evidence is given that the “phenocrysts” have xenocrystic cores. (3) Quartz-felsites with cordierite, andalusite, and garnet, and granodiorite-porphyries, lying between the Newer Diorite and its roof of Ben Lawers Schist. The granodiorite-porphyries post-date the Diorite but the age of the quartz-felsites is uncertain. Contamination, and mechanical and chemical alteration, of the quartz-felsites are recorded. (4) Newer quartz-felspar-porphyries and lamprophyres, not obviously associated with the Newer Diorite.
