Two major divisions of the New England Fold Belt, Zone A and Zone B, are separated by the Peel Fault. Deposition in these two zones was probably contemporaneous (Lower Palaeozoic - Lower Permian). Terminal orogenesis in both zones was also contemporaneous (Middle Permian) but whereas in Zone A deformation was only moderate, metamorphism was of burial type, and granitic emplacement was uncommon, in Zone B many rocks were severely deformed and regionally metamorphosed, and both syn-tectonic and post-tectonic granites are widespread. Pre-orogenic palaeogeography is envisaged in terms of an evolving volcanic chain - fore-chain basin - trench system, with an outer non-volcanic arc developed in the Carboniferous. Cessation of movement on a subduction zone dipping westward beneath the volcanic chain is believed to have caused the Middle Permian deformation, but neither metamorphism nor the granitic rocks are directly related to subduction. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Reefs dredged on guyots of the Mid-Pacific Mountains and the Japanese Seamounts yield middle Cretaceous fossils, indicating that submergence killed off the fauna of the reefs sometime during the Albian-Cenomanian. Eustatic rise of sea level is probably responsible.

A Bellman equation for the determination of an optimal strategy is derived for the so-called ″optimum selection problem″ , under the assumption of an existing rank sequence for individual objects. This ″optimum selection problem″ involves the selection of m from n sequentially observable objects without the possibility of supplementary examination. the method is based on an additive result functional whose The results, in case of the selection of an object, depend on their rank number, on the number of the already observed and on the number of the already selected objects. In the majority of practical applications, the elementary result is a monotonous function of the rank number. It is shown that optimum strategy is pure strategy and, in the case of a monotonous results functional, it is, moreover, a so-called simple strategy. These optimal simple strategies can be relatively easily represented. Some special sequential selection problems are solved.
