- Title
Some Palæomagnetic Investigations on Chinese Rocks.

- Abstract
PREVIOUS palæomagnetic investigations1 on European and North American rocks agree in suggesting that those areas were in such a position that the pole appeared to lie on or near the Chinese mainland from Upper Palæozoic to Mesozoic times. If the geology of China is examined for those same periods, the climate indicated is more equatorial than polar2. These two apparently contradictory facts make the palæomagnetic study of Chinese rocks particularly interesting, and account for the publication of the results of the first collection from China despite the small number of samples.
