I thank Dr. Berger for his comments on an earlier paper of mine (Hutton 1977) and welcome this opportunity to clarify and expand on various aspects of that work. Berger (1980) has divided the Creeslough Formation in its type area into a lower 'calcareous' unit (occurring in the SE) and an upper pel

Abstract
A recent interpretation of the structural geology and chronology of the northwestern envelope of the Main Donegal Granite by Hutton (1977) is critically examined.
Although many aspects of this analysis are sound, there remains serious doubt concerning Hutton's main conclusion that the intense deformation near the granite resulted from its forceful intrusion.

The capillary transport of water into granitic rocks has been interpreted on the basis of the structure of its porous network. An effective pore radius has been calculated from a three-sized singlepore model proposed by F. A. L. Dullien, El-Sayed, and V. K. Batra (J. Colloid Interface Sci. 60, 497,
## Abstract A reparameterized version (PM3) of AM1 has recently been reported and the results for several hundred molecules compared with those from AM1 itself. The comparison implied that PM3 represents a significant improvement over the earlier treatment. The apparently poor performance of AM1 is
