The commoner changes produced in the metamorphosed rock are induration and cementation in some cases, recrystallization (the conversion of carbonates into silicates) in cithers, etc.: contrasted with
endomorphism , or the effects, chiefly those of chilling, produced upon the border of the eruptive itself.
