Abstract
T. C. Phemister and S. Simpson have performed a very useful service in recording deep weathering of granite under comparatively unweathered glacial deposits, as exposed during the cutting of a new drainage system in Aberdeen city1. They refer to other examples of the same kind, which, they say, occur "at a large number of scattered localities in north-east Scotland". It is much to be hoped that they will follow up this strangely neglected topic.
