  4. The Moho-discontinuity and many geochemical facts can be explained easier by admitting a different origin of the Sima and the Sial. I consider the Sima to be crystallized primary olivine-basaltic magma, while I believe that the Sial derives from a pegmatitic upper-crust which has been precipitated from a primary pneumatosphere, then partially eroded, sedimentated and metamorphosed. See:A. Rittmann: Experientia, Vol. 3, Heft 8, Basel, 1947; and Schweiz. min. petr. Mitt., Vol. 28, p. 36, Zürich, 1948.
