Abstract
IN a previous article1, one of us (T. N.) reported the phenomenon of self-reversal of the thermo-remanent magnetization of the ejecta of Mt. Haruna and of the ferromagnetic minerals separated from the rocks. It was also proved experimentally that the characteristics of the reverse thermo-remanent magnetization of the ferromagnetic minerals are the same as those of reverse thermo-remanent magnetism of their mother rocks.
