Summary

Basic rocks from the West Mexican Batholith and the Coastal Batholith of Peru are described. These are considered representative of the whole range of basic rocks in batholiths and their crystallization and subsequent history is related to the fluid pressure of the magma. Their role in batholithic evolution is discussed.
