摘要
美国人庞佩利是第一位在中国进行地质考察的西方地质学家而为中国地学史界所熟知。该文作者较为全面地介绍了庞佩利的学术成就，深入研究了庞佩利在华考察及其成果，尤其是重点分析了庞氏提出的＂震旦上升系＂。文章指出，＂震旦上升系＂所表述的不仅是通常所理解的山系的走向，而且具有构造运动意义。该文作者还讨论了庞佩利在华的地质考察的历史意义。
Being the first Western geologist to China, Raphael Pumpelly is wellknown to Chinese historians of earth science. Howerer, not very much works on Pumpelly have come out yet. The present paper discusses Pumpelly's general accomplishments at greater length. Then, the paper devotes to the study on Pumpelly's geological survey in China and his research results, among which the most pronounced was his advocacy of a'Sinian System of Elevation'. The author holds that Pumpelly's 'Sinian System of Elvation' refers not only to the topographic trend of mountain ranges, but also implies tectonic movement. The paper also explores historical significance of Pumpelly's geological survey in China.
