Links
Every link to other section is written in brackets – as a number. For example [see section 2.1] means that the part of the text where it is written relates with the part number 2.1.
In case of a picture attachment there’s number of the picture in brackets.
The use of the italic font
All concrete names which don’t refer to the section mentioned in are written with the italic font. If the italic font is used in the section’s title, this name will not be written in the italic font in this section again. Also, infrequent original and Latin names are in the italic font.
The comments in courier
Few month after I had ended my work one scientist from the British Geological Survey, Mr Ken Hitchen, was so kind and wrote many comments on it, especially from the geological point of view. I modified them little bit and put them in the work as they were – in courier. So now You can see some information corrected. The rest is, I hope, right.
Thank You, Ken!
