    Abstract Here we present new data from Chinese basaltic catchments that experience monsoonal climate. The weathering rates of Chinese basaltic fields roughly agree with the previously established law of basalt weathering that includes the controls of both runoff and temperature. However, we find out that temperature alone might explain the weathering variability if active and inactive volcanic fields are separated.

    Abstract Investigations described from three Victorian damsites indicate that weathering of Ordovician bedrock is increased where it is overlain by basalt, even though the basalt is little weathered. Sub‐basaltic weathering may account for the fact that weathered rock beneath a Jurassic lava flow gives a weathering remagnetization age of Mid‐Cainozoic, consistent with palaeomagnetically determined ages of lateritization from elsewhere in Australia.

    Summary .—(1) The reptiles Gordonia, Geikia , and Elginia are shown to be slightly later than those of the Upper Permian Pariasaurus beds of Russia, or those of the equivalent Cisticephalus zone of South Africa. They therefore represent the extreme top of the Permian. (2) The remaining Elgin reptiles are Middle Triassic (? = Lettenkohle of Germany). (3) The Elgin footprints are widely distinct from Triassic forms and from those of the Lower Permian, while agreeing exactly with the group associated with the Magnesian Limestone of England. They therefore represent the extreme top of the Permian. (4) The discovery is recorded of one of the typical footprints in close proximity with the Permian reptile quarry. (5) The Permian rocks occupy the west of the ‘Triassic’ area, the true Trias the east. (6) It is suggested that the area was a landsurface during Permian and Triassic times.
