O n a former occasion (Quart. Journ. Geol Soc. vol. xxxiv. p. 137) I offered a sketch of the Pre-Cambrian rocks which form the long ridge stretching from Bangor to Caernarvon. The classification I adopted was in descending order:— i. The Volcanic series , consisting of volcanic fragmentary ejectamenta, agglomerates, ash-beds, and slates, occurring near Bangor, and referred to as Bangor beds . ii. The Felsitic series , consisting chiefly of quartz felsites, and probably also of volcanic origin, occurring near Llanddeiniolen and Dinorwig, and now referred to as the Dinorwig beds . iii. The Granitoid series , occurring near Caernarvon, and referred to as the Caernarvon beds . Endeavouring to correlate these groups with the divisions proposed by Dr. Hicks, I considered that the lowest group included less than the Dimetian, from which I proposed to cut off every thing above the brecciated bed below Bryngarn, on the left of the valley running down from St. David's to Porthclais. The upper group I divided into two. I do not know how far Dr. Hicks, in the modified classification recently offered to the British Association (Report, 1878, Trans. Sect. p. 536), adopts the above threefold classification. I considered that there was no unconformity visible between the groups, whether we accepted the brackets drawn by Dr. Hicks or those which I proposed. Since this paper was first sent in much additional information has been brought forward by Professor Bonney, Dr. Hicks, and Mr. Houghton, in communications made to the
