Paper, 'Note on the geological bearing of Mr Davison’s paper' by Thomas George Bonney Bonney writes: 'The results obtained by Mr Davison ['On the distribution of strain in the Earth's crust resulting from secular cooling, with special reference to the growth of continents and the formation of mountain-chains', Proceedings of the Royal Society, volume 42] throw light upon one or two matters in regard to the petrology of the older rocks, which have always appeared to me difficult of explanation. I venture therefore to add a brief note to his paper, written from the point of view of a geologist.' Annotations in pencil and ink. Subject: Geology / Petrology Received 7 April 1887.
