Abstract
IN this paper the author briefly summarizes the ideas prevailing on the origin of the crystalline schists, and throws a doubt on the current opinion that the primitive rocks have been formed by the direct crystallization of their constituents. He divides his treatise into two parts: (1) stratigraphical considerations; (2) the mode of association of the component minerals.
