v. EASTERN SCHISTS. This group includes the great series of crystalline schistose rocks which lie upon the Moine thrust-plane the most easterly of the great post-Cambrian displacements. Where the plane of this thrust is clearly exposed, as at Knockan and the Stack of Glencoul, the western limit of these schists is easily defined. But it is often extremely difficult to determine the precise position of this plane of disruption. Owing to the development of mylonised rocks about its horizon, the a...ctual " sole " or thrust-plane is apt to be lost among the crushed and * " The Geological Structure of the North- West Highlands of Scotland " (Mem. Geol. Surv. ), p. 453, 1907. 17 rolled-out materials which have been driven along in the line of movement. In the area represented by the model the Eastern Schists include (1) mylonised rocks, (2) puckered grey schists, and (3) granulitic siliceous flagstones with thin mica-schists. The mylonised rocks have been derived from different types of Lewisian Gneiss and pegmatites, from the Torridon Sandstone and Cambrian Quart zite.
