I. Catalogue of Organic Remains from the Glacial deposits of Scotland

Abstract

The authorities consulted in drawing up the following list are—Mr. Smith of Jordanhill ( Researches in Post-pliocene Geology ); Professor Edward Forbes ( Memoirs of Geological Survey, vol. i.); Forbes and Hanley ( History of British Mollusca ); Mr. T. F. Jamieson ( Quart. Jour. Geol. Soc. vol. xiv., and in Smith’s Researches ); Woodward ( Manual of Mollusca ). In addition to these, the author has derived much valuable assistance from the Rev. A. Macbride, the Rev. H. W. Crosskey, Mr. C. W. Peach, Dr. Scouler, and the Rev. Thomas Brown, who have all added to the list of fossils from the Scottish glacial beds. The names of the shells are those of Forbes and Hanley, chiefly from whose work also the European range of the species is given. Species with an asterisk (*) are now extinct in the British area, but are found living in more northern latitudes. Those marked † are characteristically northern species still lingering in our waters, but apparently dying out there. Species enclosed within brackets [] have not yet been found alive, but some of them are possibly inaccurately determined. Unless where the deposit is otherwise indicated, the fossils are from the stratified Drift. This 191-word extract was created in the absence of an abstract
