Rock-Basins have been getting out of favour of late. The “heckling” which they have suffered from my friend Mr. Marr tempts one to echo Betsy Prig's classic remark about Mrs. Harris. Mr. Brend, however, though “dealing faithfully” with them in the September number of the Geological Magazine, does permit one or two to exist on sufferance, so that I feel minded, were it only as an act of charity to these depreciated securities, to describe two or three examples in the Alps which I think must be true rock-basins.

<p>In mountain environments, the high variability of soil forming factors (i.e., parent material, climate, relief, organism, time) is responsible for the presence of different soil types, which not only contribute to the pedodiversity but are also a component of the local cultural heritage.</p><p>Up to now, scarce attention has been paid to the soil in the geoheritage/geoconservation scientific analyses.</p><p>To promote soil as element concurring to mountain geoheritage definition, we propose a strategy to include pedological topics within a multidisciplinary trail planned in the Veglia-Devero Natural Park (Lepontine Alps). The geomorphological dynamicity and environmental change affecting during times the small mountain catchment of Buscagna hydrographic basin are illustrated with a specific address to soil characteristics. The physical and chemical properties, and pedological features of soils reflect the interaction among the other ecosystem components (i.e. geology, geomorphology and vegetation), underlining the role of soil as natural archive for reconstructing landscape evolution and for achieving a more complete assessment of Late Quaternary geomorphic events, especially surface processes.</p><p>Geopedological researches carried out in the study area, allowed to detect 7 soil profiles as potential sites of pedological interest, located in safe and accessible places, along already existing hiking paths. The selected soil profiles not only mirror the main soil types that characterize the area but also represent evidence of past environmental conditions and geomorphic dynamics.</p><p>The opportunities for hikers and mountaineers, to observe the exposed soils along the Buscagna valley, thanks to the presence of erosional scarps and subsidence areas, allow also to get more awareness of the need of geoheritage conservation strategies addressed to soil, especially in the mountain landscape where soil characteristics reflect the striking influence of its forming factors.</p>

Some three years ago, on referring to the twenty-fifth volume of the “Beiträge zur Geologischen Karte der Schweiz,” I found Professor Heim had devoted a few pages (pp. 316–319) of that work to my criticisms of his attempts to prove that Jurassic rocks had been metamorphosed into schists containing authigenous garnets, staurolites, etc. Had he brought forward any new fact of importance or pointed out any serious error in my work I should have replied at once, but as he was unable to do this, and as the justice of one of my criticisms was indirectly admitted in the petrographical appendix by Dr. C. Schmidt, I allowed more pressing and interesting matters to take precedence of one which had become chiefly personal.

Abstract Volatile constituents are found to occur abundantly in the liquid inclusions in quartz of an area south of the Gotthard massif, in the Lepontine Alps between the Greina and Simplon cols, where Mesozoic sediments have been subjected to strong Alpine metamorphism. Comparisons with neighboring regions suggest that processes of recrystallization can be attributed in large part to soaking by volatile-rich fluids. The petrogenetic and tectonic significance of the presence of fluids rich in CO <sub>2</sub> is discussed.
