The leading varieties of the trappean rocks basalt, greenstone, trachyte, and the rest are found sometimes in dikes penetrating stratified and unstratified formations, sometimes in shapeless masses protruding through or overlying them, or in horizontal sheets intercalated between strata.
Agassiz found the rounded and moutonnees surfaces and the general modeling of the outlines of ice no less marked here than in the Strait; and in a ramble over the hills above the anchorage, M. de Pourtales came upon very distinct glacial scorings and furrows on dikes and ledges of greenstone and syenite.
"You can take any of those paths you like, sir," he said. "If you want to get to Salthouse, though, you should have got out at the next station." "This will do for me," Hamel replied cheerfully. "Be careful of the dikes," the station-master advised him. "Some of them are pretty deep." Hamel nodded, and passing through the white gates, made his way by a raised cattle track towards the sea.
Fox, the coast from Rio de Janeiro to the mouth of the Plata seems everywhere to be granitic, with a few trappean dikes. At Port Alegre, near the boundary of Brazil, there are porphyries and diorites.

Meantime the four painters were to collect material for the decoration of the coffee-room wreaths of greens over the mantel and festoons of ivy hanging down the back of Joplin's chair being prominent features; while Mynheer, Tine and Johann were to concentrate their energies in preparing a dinner the like of which had never been eaten since the sluiceways in the dikes drowned out the Spanish duke.
What king of England refused to obey the pope? Why do Englishmen think Queen Elizabeth a great ruler? How did Elizabeth settle the question of religion? Collect pictures of the Dutch, of their canals, dikes, and towns.
The varying conductivity of the different strata in relation to heat and electricity may have been an important factor. Trap dikes frequently enrich veins where they approach or intersect them, and they have often been the primum mobile of vein formation, but chiefly, if not only, by supplying heat, the mainspring of chemical action.
Now, what does the reader think young Ellwood carried in his gray coat pocket across the dikes and hedges and through the green lanes of Giles Chalfont that autumn day? Let us look farther "When I came home, and had set myself to read it, I found it was that excellent poem which he entitled Paradise Lost.
